The  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  admits  students  of  any  race,  color,  na- 
tional and  ethnic  origin  to  all  the  rights,  privileges,  programs,  and  activi- 
ties generally  accorded  or  made  available  to  students  at  the  school.  It 
does  not  discriminate  on  the  basis  of  race,  color,  national  or  ethnic  origin 
in  the  administration  of  its  educational  policies,  admissions  policies, 
scholarship  and  loan  programs,  and  athletic  and  other  school-adminis- 
tered programs.

Report  of  the  Director 


Few  words  are  written  about  Perkins  without  referring  to  past  history. 
This  report  will  more  than  likely  come  into  the  hands  of  some  of  its 
readers  during  the  early  days  of  March,  1979.  The  outside  cover  labels 
this  the  147th  Annual  Report,  but  the  inside  front  page  reminds  the 
reader  that  Perkins  was  incorporated  on  March  2,  1829.  It,  therefore,  fol- 
lows that  March  2,  1979,  is  the  150th  anniversary  of  the  founding  of  the 
school.  The  150th  Annual  Report  will  be  the  one  to  be  published  in  1981 
and  will  cover  the  period  of  September  1,  1980  through  August  31,  1981. 
This  seems  to  indicate  that  this  period  of  time  is  the  150th  year  of  opera- 
tion. These  facts  are  what  make  it  difficult  to  write  about  the  Perkins 
School  for  the  Blind  without  considering  the  School's  illustrious  past,  for 
it  is  very  lengthy.  It  is  planned  that  during  the  celebration  of  the  School's 
sesquicentennial,  much  of  this  past  will  be  proudly  recalled  for  those  pre- 
viously and  presently  associated  with  the  School  and  for  the  public. 
Where  March  2,  1979  marks  the  150th  anniversary  of  incorporation, 


6  147th  Annual  Report 

the  date  for  the  first  class  held  was  July,  1832.  It  seems  logical,  therefore, 
that  the  period  from  March  2,  1979  to  July  1,  1982  would  be  the  appropri- 
ate celebration  period.  It  also  seems  that  the  manner  and  form  most  ap- 
propriate for  such  a  celebration  is  to  give  equal  time  to  the  present  and 
future  rather  than  to  concentrate  wholly  on  the  past. 

Returning  now  to  the  most  recently  completed  school  year,  I  wish  to 
review  for  you  the  significance  of  the  "year." 

This  report  officially  covers  the  period  which  began  September  1, 
1977  and  ended  August  31,  1978.  All  of  the  financial  summaries  and  bal- 
ance sheets  in  the  latter  pages  are  also  reports  for  this  period. 

I  remember  a  quote,  but  not  the  author,  that  has  had  meaning  for  me 
over  the  years;  and  it  seems  that  it  must  have  applied  to  Perkins  this  past 
year.  The  quote  is,  "Without  frustration,  there  is  no  growth."  I  interpret 
this  to  mean,  when  I  apply  it  to  the  Perkins  setting,  that  when  program 
components  and  structures  do  not  completely  match  the  student  or  client 
needs,  a  form  of  agitation  brings  on  a  degree  of  frustration  which  results 
in  a  study  leading  to  change  and  growth.  The  changes  during  the  past 
school  year  have  been  dynamic.  They  have  been  extensive  and  significant 
for  the  current  times. 

Coordination  of  Educational  Services 

In  a  residential  school,  the  forces  that  are  brought  to  bear  upon  the 
needs  of  the  enrolled  population  are  many  and  varied.  There  is  no  doubt 
that  a  school  such  as  Perkins  offers  as  expansive  an  array  of  service  as  any 
available  to  blind  or  deaf-blind  students  and  clients  anywhere.  It  is  the 
coordination  and  maximization  of  these  services  that  is  the  real  chal- 
lenge— the  challenge  we  have  met  head  on. 

The  terms  "educational  team"  and  "therapeutic  community"  proba- 
bly best  describe  our  present  organization  and  program.  The  needs  of  all 
students  enrolled  are  being  met  through  the  combined  team  efforts  of  our 
three  organizational  units:  (1)  Instructional  Programs;  (2)  Clinical  Ser- 
vices— tentatively  referred  to  as  Pupil  Evaluation,  Counseling,  and  Fam- 
ily Services  during  the  interim  of  change;  and  (3)  Instructional  Support 
Services.  This  is  a  structuring  of  services  that  seems  appropriate  for 
today.  This  is  not  to  say  that  it  was  called  for  in  the  past,  nor  to  say  that  it 
is  to  be  cast  in  concrete  for  the  future. 

Instructional  Programs 

In  many  ways,  the  Instructional  Programs  are  the  essence  of  it  all 
and,  when  the  management  or  supervision  of  one  educational  team  is 
combined  with  that  of  the  other  teams,  they  become  a  system  of  support 
for  broad,  comprehensive  educational  planning. 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  7 

The  Junior/Senior  High  School  Program  is  basically  what  was,  in 
previous  years,  referred  to  as  the  Upper  School.  The  Lower  School  Pro- 
gram covers  the  kindergarten,  primary  and  intermediate  grades.  The 
Deaf-Blind  Program  and  the  Rehabilitation  Program  somewhat,  by  title, 
explain  themselves.  The  fifth  program  is  called  Special  Programs.  This 
title  has  always  been  confusing  because  it  does  little  or  nothing  to  define 
the  program  itself  which  is  a  prevocational  program  for  visually/multi- 
impaired  adolescent-level  students  whose  program  places  a  strong  em- 
phasis on  the  development  of  socialization  and  personal  management 
skills. 

The  real  change  is  not  in  the  instructional  programs  per  se,  but  in  the 
restructuring  of  these  programs  into  teams.  Everyone  who  is  responsible 
for  providing  any  portion  of  a  program  written  as  an  individual  educa- 
tion plan  for  any  student  is  a  member  of  the  team  providing  services  for 
that  student  or  client.  The  minimum  staff  of  these  teams  usually  includes 
a  program  supervisor,  teacher,  houseparent,  psychologist  or  counselor, 
social  workers,  food  service  personnel,  plus  instructors,  assistant  instruc- 
tors and  aides  from  any  special  area  such  as  physical  education,  business 
education,  music,  orientation  and  mobility,  and  industrial  education. 

Most  of  the  instructional  programs  are  located  in  classrooms,  yet 
some  are  cottage  based.  One  of  the  students,  involved  in  planning  a 
UNICEF  bake  sale,  gave  me  a  quick  retort  to  a  casual  inquiry  concerning 
his  health — which  was  obviously  fine. 

I  said,  "How  are  you  today  Chris?" 

"How  are  you  doing  with  your  baking  for  our  sale?"  Chris  answered. 

His  counter  question  gave  me  a  quick  understanding  as  to  the  serious 
manner  in  which  he  responded  to  his  activities  in  the  cottage.  His  reply 
symbolized  the  coordinated  manner  in  which  an  educational  team  can 
focus  on  an  activity.  What  is  planned  in  the  classroom  is  known  and  sup- 
ported in  the  cottage  and  elsewhere.  It  also  works  in  reverse.  A  certain 
level  of  concentration  and  follow  through  that  is  so  difficult  for  some  stu- 
dents is  almost  guaranteed.  Here  a  team  concept  involving  teachers,  stu- 
dents, and  parents  is  sought  for  the  educational  setting. 

Clinical  Services 

The  Clinical  Services  unit,  which  provides  support  for  the  instruc- 
tional teams,  includes  pupil  evaluation,  enrollment,  placement,  and  ter- 
mination. It  encompasses  psychology  and  guidance  as  well  as  social  and 
medical  services.  It  aids  the  instructional  teams  in  the  development  of  in- 
dividual behavior  management  programs  where  necessary  and,  to  a  great 
degree,  is  responsible  for  seeing  that  the  necessary  tenets  are  present  for  a 
therapeutic  community  in  the  fullest  sense  of  the  meaning. 


8  147th  Annual  Report 

Instructional  Support  Services 

The  Instructional  Support  Services  unit,  like  Clinical  Services,  acts 
not  only  as  a  direct  service  provider  to  the  five  instructional  programs  but 
also  performs  a  check  and  balance  function.  There  are  many  things  that 
must  be  done  if  any  educational  program  is  to  succeed.  In  the  minds  of 
some,  these  are  not  all  educational  tasks;  yet  without  their  being  sched- 
uled and  carried  out,  an  educational  program  cannot  succeed.  Indeed,  it 
may  not  even  get  off  the  ground  and,  if  it  did,  there  would  not  always  be 
complete  assurance  it  would  be  headed  in  the  right  direction  or  would  be 
authorized  to  do  what  it  was  doing.  A  simple  listing  of  some  of  these  sup- 
port services  doesn't  tell  the  whole  story  but  will  begin  to  reveal  their  im- 
portance. These  include  pupil  transportation,  program  accreditation  and 
reaccreditation,  licensing  and  inspection  of  facilities  for  safety  and  secu- 
rity, and  the  identification  of  grants  and  writing  of  grant  proposals  for 
program  improvements  and  services. 

These  organizational  changes  mean  less  emphasis  on  departments 
and  more  emphasis  on  programs.  The  entire  education  program  and  all 
that  supports  it  is  the  responsibility  of  the  Assistant  Director  who  pro- 
vides direct  supervision  to  each  unit. 

Food  Service  Change 

The  food  service  at  Perkins  has  always  been  provided  in  the  cottage 
setting  and  continues,  where  appropriate,  to  be  done  in  this  manner. 
However,  there  are  situations  where  it  is  more  applicable  for  clients  to 
purchase  and  prepare  their  own  food.  The  necessity  and  advantages  of 
this  are  obvious  when  you  project  life  training  needs  with  these  clients. 

A  major  change  in  the  area  of  food  management  was  made  this  year. 
Seller's  of  New  England,  a  food  management  concern,  coordinates  and 
manages  the  food  program  in  cooperation  with  the  educational  team 
leaders.  A  professional  manager  provides  the  supervision  and  has  the 
back-up  of  all  the  other  services  provided  by  Seller's  such  as  an  executive 
dietitian  and  chef.  Because  of  the  expertise  available,  we  are  also  capable 
of  high  quality  catering  of  special  functions.  We  are  experiencing  more 
"home  quality"  meals  using  less  canned  foods,  more  fresh  vegetables  and 
meat — all  at  reduced  costs. 

Administrative  Changes 

Several  functions  that  have  "clogged"  the  Bursar's  office  in  previous 
months  have  been  transferred  to  the  Director's  office  and  are  managed  by 
an  administrative  assistant.  These  include  mailing,  duplicating  and  com- 
munications services.  One  of  the  significant  accomplishments  in  this  area 
has  been  the  procurement,  installation  and  operation  of  a  new  telephone 
system  offering  better  service.  The  original  capital  outlay  will  in  a 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  9 

very  few  years  pay  for  itself  through  reduced  charges  and  then  result  in  a 
substantial  monthly  savings. 

The  need  for  a  personnel  management  system  was  determined  to  be 
critical.  To  give  this  the  degree  of  support  it  deserved,  the  personnel 
function  was  also  transferred  to  the  Director's  office  and  a  professional 
manager  recruited  to  develop  the  system.  This  position  is  receiving  coun- 
sel from  the  Director's  Administrative  Assistant,  a  person  experienced  in 
personnel  management. 

An  unmet  need  which  remains  a  goal  for  the  current  year  and  the 
next  one  to  come  is  the  need  for  a  management  information  system  and  a 
cost  accounting  system  that  will  give  us  better  information  for  personnel, 
financial,  and  program  planning.  It  is  hoped  that  we  might  be  able  to  uti- 
lize such  a  system  to  determine  individual  pupil  costs  and  then  be  able  to 
consider  individual  tuition  rates  based  on  the  cost  of  services  provided. 

Building  Improvements  Planned 

The  campus  grounds  have  been  well  maintained  and  all  of  the 
buildings  are  in  good  repair.  This  does  not  mean  that  there  isn't  a  lot  that 
needs  to  be  done  in  the  way  of  interior  upgrading  of  the  decor,  but  a  plan 
to  accomplish  this  must  now  come  in  conjunction  with  some  rather  costly 
improvements  that  are  planned  to  make  the  buildings  safer  and  more  ac- 
cessible to  the  handicapped.  Rigid  fire  drills  have  been  regularly  sched- 
uled, and  we  are  seeing  constant  improvement  in  our  ability  to  handle 
this  and  other  potentially  dangerous  situations. 

Howe  Press  Services 

During  the  year  the  Board  of  Trustees  authorized  the  transfer  of  the 
Howe  Press  braille  pressing  operation  to  the  National  Braille  Press  after  a 
careful  study  of  the  need  for  such  services  and  the  potential  waste  that 
could  result  if  the  pressing  was  to  be  continued  at  two  locations. 

The  Howe  Press  continues  to  manufacture  aids  and  appliances  and 
its  principal  product  continues  to  be  the  world  famous  Perkins  Brailler. 
New  production  and  sales  records  were  set  during  this  past  year,  with  the 
foreign  market  still  making  demands  that  create  a  backlog  of  orders. 

Regional  Services 

The  New  England  Regional  Center  for  Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Chil- 
dren, which  is  located  on  the  Perkins  campus  and  funded  with  federal 
dollars,  is  a  service  to  which  we  can  point  with  pride.  It  is  under  capable 
management  and  deserves  the  autonomy  and  trust  that  it  is  given.  It,  like 
the  Regional  Library  for  Services  to  the  Blind  and  Physically  Handi- 
capped, is  a  service  organization  that  is  widely  used  throughout  the  New 
England  States.  Because  Perkins  does  not  attempt  to  recoup  all  of  the  in- 


10  147th  Annual  Report 

cidental  costs  of  having  these  two  organizations  on  the  campus,  more 
dollars  are  going  from  these  agencies  into  direct  services.  We  are  privi- 
leged to  have  them  here. 

Teacher  Training 

Teacher  training  students  came  to  the  Boston  College/Perkins  Pro- 
gram from  eight  states  and  seven  foreign  countries  last  year,  and  a  recent 
informal  survey  showed  that  every  area  of  the  world  has  someone  in  a 
leadership  capacity  programming  for  the  blind  who,  at  one  time,  received 
training  at  Perkins;  and  generally  speaking  this  was  their  first  formal 
training  in  the  field. 


The  support  that  the  education  programs  receive  from  the  Board  of 
Trustees  is  a  constant  gratification.  The  diligent  manner  in  which  the 
trustees  fulfill  their  responsibilities  as  overseers  of  the  school  has  been 
quite  obvious  this  past  year.  They  have  concerned  themselves  directly 
with  such  matters  as  the  restructuring  of  the  education  program,  fire  and 
safety  codes,  the  improved  telephone  system,  an  energy  audit  to  maxi- 
mize dollars  when  purchasing  utilities,  and  the  continued  study  of  the  in- 
terrelationship between  Perkins  and  other  agencies  in  the  Boston  area 
providing  services  to  blind  children  and  adults. 

I  consider  the  greatest  accomplishment  of  the  year  the  putting  to- 
gether of  a  team  of  program  supervisors  that  contains  a  balance  of  long- 
time Perkins  employees  and  new  colleagues  from  other  reaches.  The  ex- 
citement continues  as  they  move  forward  into  the  future  with  enthusiasm 
and  zeal.  They  are  a  part  of  Perkins'  bright  future.

NEW  ENGLAND   REGIONAL  CENTER  FOR 
SERVICES  TO  DEAF-BLIND  CHILDREN,    1978 

A  rubella  epidemic  in  1964-65  and  other  causes,  such  as  Usher's 
Syndrome,  have  resulted  in  the  existence  of  over  5000  children  and 
youths  in  the  United  States  who  either  at  birth  or  later  are  handicapped 
by  combined  visual  and  auditory  impairments.  Traditional  classes  for 
blind  or  for  deaf  children  were  not  attuned  to  educating  students  having 
both  conditions.  In  response  to  a  need  for  more  individual,  specialized 
attention,  Congress  amended  the  Elementary  and  Secondary  Act  of  1968 
to  include  Title  VI-C,  which  provides  for  Centers  and  Services  for  Deaf- 
Blind  Children.  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind,  as  the  sponsoring  agency 
for  the  New  England  Regional  Center  for  Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Chil- 
dren, has  general  contractual  responsibility  with  the  United  States  Office 
of  Education,  Bureau  of  Education  for  the  Handicapped  in  Washington, 
DC. 

Over  20  agencies  across  the  six-state  region  have  deaf-blind  pro- 
grams which  receive  technical  and  financial  support  through  subcontracts 
with  the  Regional  Center.  Their  primary  funding  arises  from  state,  local 
and  other  sources.  Some  agencies  benefit  from  Regional  Center  teacher 
workshops  and  other  training  aids,  without  direct  subsidy.  The  profes- 
sional staff  of  the  Center,  in  addition  to  its  Coordinator,  includes  an 
Educational  Consultant,  an  Administrative  Consultant  and  a  Vocational 
and  Educational  Specialist.  They  coordinate  services,  develop  teaching 
and  administrative  manuals  and  aids,  conduct  workshops,  advocate  for 
children  and  their  families,  and  monitor  funding  according  to  Federal 
guidelines.  Also,  they  seek  diagnosis  and  evaluation  where  needed,  con- 
sult with  teachers  and  education  officials  who  have  direct  roles  in  the  lives 
of  deaf-blind  children,  evaluate  ongoing  education  programs,  and  oper- 
ate a  resource  center  for  teachers,  students  and  administrators. 

Highlights  of  the  1977-1978  period  include  the  following  activities 
which  were  conducted  or  supported  by  the  Regional  Center: 

•  Presented  region-wide  workshops  on  classroom  supervision,  cog- 
nition, visual  development  and  stimulation,  auditory  development 
and  training,  and  behavior  management 

•  Provided  special  in-service  training  at  agencies  on  long-term 
planning  and  on  developing  pre- vocational  components  of  exist- 
ing programs 

•  Implemented  a  child  care  aide  program  at  Meeting  Street  School 

•  Continued  group  home  training  situations  at  Perkins  and  Meeting 
Street  Schools 

•  Developed  video-tapes  on  sensory  stimulation  programming  for 


12

profoundly  retarded  deaf-blind  students  at  Fernald  State  School 

•  Sponsorship  of  a  regional  parents'  group  and  assisted  with  a  par- 
ents' workshop  in  Connecticut 

•  Supported  printing  of  the  Southbury  Training  School's  Priority 
Needs  Assessment  Scale,  and  the  Perkins  School's  Deaf-Blind  Bib- 
liography and  Skill  Tasks,  A  Handbook  of  Prevocational  Activities 

•  Promulgated  procedures  to  identify  deaf-blind  children  and  types 
of  education  services  needed 

•  Published  a  regional  newsletter  for  parents,  teachers  and  other 
professionals 

A  three-year  contract  with  the  Bureau  of  Education  for  the  Handi- 
capped expired  on  June  30,  1978.  A  new  one-year  contract  was  author- 
ized to  continue  through  June  30,  1979  with  the  possibility  of  annual 
renewal  extensions  for  an  undetermined  period. 


Signing  is  an  important  part  of  communication  between  the 
teacher  and  her  deaf-blind  pupils.

REPORT  OF  THE  PRESIDENT — 1977-1978 

This  is  the  last  time  I  will  have  the  honor  of  reporting  to  you  as  Presi- 
dent of  the  Board  because,  as  many  of  you  may  already  know,  I  am  re- 
signing from  my  position  as  President  of  the  Corporation  at  the 
conclusion  of  this  meeting. 

I  have  been  a  Trustee  of  the  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  since  1952 
and  wish  to  remain  one.  My  interest  in  Perkins  is  not  lessening.  I  am  sim- 
ply recognizing  the  fact  that  it  is  time  to  share  the  reins  of  the  Presidency 
which  I  have  held  since  1971. 

Several  issues  of  extreme  significance  have  faced  the  Board  this  past 
year.  These  are  covered  in  the  various  minutes  of  the  meetings.  However, 
to  make  certain  that  one  item  in  particular  receives  full  recognition,  and 
to  make  certain  you  understand  fully  the  concern  of  the  Board,  I  will  first 
speak  specifically  to  this  issue.  I  refer  to  the  mandated  regulations  that  are 
forcing  us  to  consider  a  large  expenditure  of  funds  to  bring  our  buildings 
up  to  code  in  matters  related  to  fire,  safety  and  access  for  the 
handicapped. 

We  have  all  held  the  safety  of  the  students  and  clients  as  a  high  pri- 
ority and  have  a  good  track  record  in  this  regard.  However,  today's  rules 
make  this  a  whole  new  ball  game.  The  Executive  Committee  and  full 
Board,  through  the  Building  and  Grounds  Committee  and  the  Finance 
Committee,  are  following  through  on  plans  to  meet  these  requirements. 

I  need  not  report  to  you  concerning  financial  matters  as  this  is  ably 
handled  by  our  Treasurer  and  that  report  is  represented  at  this  Annual 
Meeting. 

Likewise,  educational  and  managerial  matters  will  be  covered  by  our 
Director  who,  in  his  first  year  of  association  with  the  Trustees,  has  lived 
up  to  the  expectations  set  forth  at  the  time  of  his  hiring. 

Many  of  the  matters  at  the  school  are  the  same  from  year  to  year,  but 
each  year  we  see  them  from  a  different  point  of  view  because  the  times 
change  and  our  student  enrollment  changes.  We  are  educating  and  train- 
ing a  far  different  population  than  we  were  when  I  first  joined  the  Perkins 
team.  This  population  is,  however,  no  less  important  than  any  other  at 
any  other  point  in  time. 

Our  enrollment  today  is  226 — down  perhaps  6%  from  a  year  ago. 
Our  major  programs  are  still  fulfilling  a  need  in  spite  of  competition  from 
such  laws  as  Massachusetts  Chapter  766  and  U.S.  Public  Law  94-142 
which  designates  us  as  sort  of  a  "school  of  last  resort."  However,  what 
people  legislate  and  what  children  need  are  not  always  completely  syn- 
onymous. We  are  all  convinced  that  what  we  have  to  offer  will  continue 
to  be  in  demand;  and  in  case  that  does  not  prove  to  be  so,  we  will  create 


16  147th  Annual  Report 

programs  to  meet  what  is  in  demand,  and  use  our  resources  to  alleviate 
these  human  needs. 

Considerable  Trustee  and  staff  energy  was  spent  this  past  year 
studying  all  of  the  private  and  public  agencies  in  the  Greater  Boston  Area 
who  are  providing  services  for  the  blind.  We  have  not  left  undone  any 
task  given  to  us  in  this  study  and  have  given  over  to  the  National  Braille 
Press  our  Braille  Pressing  Operation.  We  no  longer  are  engaged  in  pro- 
duction braille  on  the  Perkins  campus  but  continue  to  manufacture  the 
world's  greatest  braillewriter. 

In  the  months  to  come,  we  may  be  responding  specifically  to  sug- 
gested ways  we  can  program  cooperatively  with  the  other  agencies  to 
provide  better  services  for  less  dollars. 

In  essence,  the  essential  ingredients  of  the  Trustees'  activities  for  the 
year  were: 

C.  Concern  for  the  safety  and  welfare  of  those  we  serve. 

A.  Accountability  both  fiscal  and  managerial. 

B.  Better  organization. 

O.  Optimum  Interagency  Cooperation. 

T.  Total  commitment  to  quality  and  programming,  and  that  spells 
Cabot. 

Since  November  4,  1977,  the  following  members  of  our  Corporation 
completed  their  work  on  earth  and  are  no  longer  among  us  physically; 
but  spiritually,  they  will  long  be  remembered  for  the  contributions  they 
have  made.  They  are: 

Paul  Bauguss,  Lexington 
Mrs.  Gabriel  Farrell,  Wellesley 
G.  Peabody  Gardner,  Brookline 
Robert  H.  Hallowell,  Jr.,  Dover 
J.  Amory  Jeffries,  Boston 
Ralph  Lowell,  Westwood 
Samuel  Eliot  Morison,  Boston 
Reverend  Palfrey  Perkins,  Boston 
Maurice  Tynan,  Florida 

With  respect  for  all  who  have  assisted  us  in  our  mission  in  the  past 
and  those  of  you  who  continue  with  me  to  serve  our  School,  I  respectfully 
submit  this  report. 

Sincerely, 
Samuel  Cabot 
President

CLASS  OF    1978 

ERIC  BELLA  VANCE 

After  attending  several  parochial  schools  in  Maine,  Eric  enrolled  at 
Perkins  in  1975.  He  truly  enjoys  life,  filling  his  leisure  time  with  many 
pleasurable  activities. 

Eric  enjoys  bowling,  not  only  having  competed  in  the  Perkins  Bowl- 
ing League  in  his  sophomore  year,  but  also  competed  in  several  tourna- 
ments in  Maine.  He  enjoys  swimming  —  so  much  so  that  he  not  only 
used  the  Perkins  pool  but  also  swims  in  his  own  pool  at  home. 

As  a  member  of  the  Perkins  Chorus,  Eric's  musical  and  dramatic  tal- 
ents have  been  displayed,  not  only  in  annual  Christmas  concerts  and 
plays,  but  also  in  major  dramatic  productions. 

Eric  enjoys  traveling  throughout  the  New  England  states  and  across 
the  country.  He  spent  his  spring  vacation  in  Oklahoma  and  Missouri.  In- 
terestingly, one  of  Eric's  favorite  resorts  is  Canobie  Lake  in  Salem,  New 
Hampshire. 

Another  favorite  activity  is  fishing  with  his  dad  on  a  quiet  lake  in 
Maine.  Otherwise,  he  listens  to  his  radio  following  the  sports  coverage  of 
his  favorite  teams  (Red  Sox,  Celtics,  Sabres,  Bills)  or  monitoring  CB  re- 
ports on  "Uncle  Howards,"  "Smokies,"  "10-13's,"  and  "10-36's." 

Upon  graduation  Eric  hopes  to  secure  an  office  position,  preferably 
in  the  Lewiston  area. 

KAREN  CAVANAUGH 

Karen  arrived  at  Perkins  on  September  18,  1966.  Her  years  here 
have  been  marked  by  rare  determination  and  energy. 

Since  her  freshman  year,  Karen  has  been  a  member  of  the  track 
team,  competing  in  numerous  meets;  has  played  softball;  and  participated 
in  the  shotput.  Also,  she  has  been  a  cheerleader  and  entered  cheerleading 
competitions. 

Karen  has  enjoyed  the  rough,  active  pastimes  of  an  Explorer  Scout. 
On  a  scouting  trip  to  New  Hampshire  she  lived  in  a  cabin,  explored 
treacherous  caves,  and  climbed  steep  cliffs.  The  following  year,  she  and 
the  other  Explorers  visited  a  less  hostile  country:  the  beautiful  cities  of 
Montreal  and  Quebec  in  Canada. 

For  the  last  three  years,  Karen  has  worked  conscientiously  in  the 
Student  Recreation  Center,  which  led  to  temporary  part-time  employ- 
ment at  a  local  Howard  Johnson's  restaurant  during  her  senior  year. 

While  a  senior,  Karen  joined  the  Drama  Club,  performing  in 
Carousel  and  several  humorous  skits.  Since  her  sophomore  year,  she  has 
been  a  member  of  the  Chamber  Singers,  participating  in  numerous  con- 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  39 

certs  at  Perkins  and  visiting  nearby  nursing  homes  to  entertain  the 
elderly. 

For  many  years  Karen  took  piano  lessons,  studying  classical  music. 
However,  she  now  prefers  listening  to  Barry  Manilow  albums.  In  reading, 
Karen  continues  to  prefer  contemporary  novels.  In  April  she  visited  Dis- 
ney World  with  her  classmates  and  had  a  wonderful  time. 

After  graduation  Karen  hopes  to  establish  a  career  in  child  care 
services. 

BLAIN  COOK 

Blain  was  born  in  San  Antonio,  Texas  in  1959.  He  came  to  Perkins 
as  a  second  grader  after  two  years  of  public  school  in  Charlestown, 
Rhode  Island.  Despite  all  of  this  early  traveling,  Blain  considers  himself  a 
true  son  of  the  State  of  Maine. 

It  was  while  he  was  in  the  Lower  School  that  Blain  joined  the  scout- 
ing program  and  it  was  also  at  this  time  that  a  strong  interest  in  athletics 
was  developed.  His  major  thrust  has  been  in  wrestling  and  he  has  been  a 
member  of  the  Perkins  Towermen  since  his  junior  high  days.  He  has 
amassed  an  impressive  record  of  44  wins,  9  losses,  and  1  tie,  putting  him 
in  the  all-time  top  five  of  Perkins  wrestlers.  Blain  considers  this  his  finest 
year.  He  has  placed  on  several  occasions,  taking  a  first  in  this  year's  Wa- 
tertown  Lions  Invitational  Tournament  in  which  Perkins  was  pitted 
against  public  and  private  schools  in  the  area. 

While  Blain  has  been  in  the  academic  program,  his  other  major  in- 
terest has  been  in  industrial  education.  He  is  hoping  that  his  excellent 
hand  skills  will  be  his  livelihood.  His  plan  after  leaving  school  is  to  work 
in  Lewiston,  Maine  at  a  woodworking  shop  custom-building  equipment 
for  industrial  firms. 

When  he  is  not  working  Blain  will  probably  continue  his  strong  in- 
terest in  spectator  sports,  and  we  suspect  find  a  gym  where  he  can  work 
out  and  further  hone  those  already  sharp  wrestling  skills.  For  less  active 
moments  you  may  find  him  reading  a  book  of  fast  adventure,  enjoying  a 
movie,  or  listening  to  his  favorite  popular  music.  Everyone  wishes  him 
well  in  all  his  endeavors. 

RONALD  FEBBA 

A  resident  of  New  Jersey,  Ronald  has  attended  Perkins  since  1972. 
Although  somewhat  reserved,  he  has  never  hesitated  to  offer  help,  advice, 
or  encouragement  when  needed. 

Ron  joined  the  Bowling  League  in  his  sophomore  year,  winning  a 
medal  and  placing  second  in  tough  competition.  He  enjoys  swimming  as 
well  as  dancing.  His  favorite  pastimes  are  reading  mystery  novels  and 
collecting  record  albums.  He  particularly  enjoys  the  Perry  Mason  mys- 


40  147th  Annual  Report 

teries.  Latin  American  music  fascinates  Ron,  but  he  also  enjoys  the  ro- 
mantic recordings  of  Manilow,  Humperdinck,  and  The  Carpenters. 

In  his  junior  year  Ron  was  a  member  of  the  Drama  Club  and  por- 
trayed a  private  investigator  in  Agatha  Christie's  The  Night  of  January  16. 
He  also  joined  the  Perkins  Chorus  that  year  and  has  performed  in  two 
Christmas  concerts.  When  an  urgent  vacancy  occurred  in  the  Handbell 
Ensemble  this  year,  Ron  responded  to  the  call  and  has  remained  with  the 
bell  ringers  throughout  the  year,  performing  at  the  spring  production  of 
Carousel. 

He  enjoys  traveling  —  especially  his  summer  visits  to  relatives  in 
Pennsylvania  and  Michigan. 

Ron  took  organ  lessons  for  several  years.  Upon  graduation  he  in- 
tends not  only  to  resume  these  lessons,  but  also  to  make  contacts  for 
bookings  in  New  Jersey  clubs. 

CINDY  MARIE  HESS 

Cindy  came  to  Perkins  as  a  sixth  grader.  Previous  to  this  time  she 
had  attended  school  in  Springfield,  Massachusetts.  She  was  born  in  Alex- 
andria, Virginia  in  1958. 

Cindy's  years  here  have  been  very  active,  encompassing  a  variety  of 
experience  in  all  aspects  of  school  life.  She  has  achieved  an  excellent  aca- 
demic record.  Last  year  she  won  the  prestigious  Shirley  Drucker  Award 
for  her  junior  essay  in  English. 

Her  sports  records  include  three  years  on  the  track  team,  one  year  of 
substituting  as  a  cheerleader,  and  one  year  as  Vice  President  of  the  P.  A.  A. 
Other  elective  offices  Cindy  has  held  include  cottage  representative  on 
the  Student  Council  in  her  freshman  year,  and  in  her  junior  year  she  had 
the  honor  of  serving  as  President. 

As  a  member  of  the  chorus  and  the  talented  Chamber  Singers,  Cindy 
has  taken  part  in  all  Christmas  concerts  and  spring  shows.  A  veteran  of 
the  Drama  Club,  she  has  helped  with  the  Christmas  shows  and  appeared 
in  the  following  productions:  In  Case  of  Murder,  The  Bicentennial  Show, 
Night  of  January  16th,  and  finally  as  "Julie"  in  Carousel,  a  Music  De- 
partment and  Drama  Club  presentation. 

Cindy  has  no  specific  hobbies.  Her  school  activities  have  kept  her 
busy.  One  of  those  activities  was  serving  as  Class  President  for  two  years; 
another  was  her  work  in  medical  transcription,  a  field  she  plans  to  explore 
for  employment.  She  has  not  discounted  the  possibility  of  college,  but 
that  is  for  the  future.  Whatever  she  does,  we  know  it  will  be  done  with 
enthusiasm,  and  her  classmates  and  friends  wish  her  well. 

BARRY  ALAN  LUNN 

It  can  truly  be  said  of  Barry  that  he  is  creative,  inventive,  artistic,  and 
curious,  as  shall  be  borne  out  by  the  following: 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  41 

Barry  was  born  in  Bangor,  Maine  in  1957.  There  he  attended  the 
Fairmont  Public  School  until  January,  1969,  when  he  came  to  Perkins. 
Those  first  years  were  uneventful,  and  it  was  only  when  he  came  to  the 
seventh  grade  that  he  began  to  develop  his  many  interests.  He  took  his 
formal  studies  in  stride,  enjoying  reading  and  thriving  on  math  and 
science. 

Barry's  real  interest  has  been  in  industrial  arts.  "The  more  detailed 
the  handwork,"  he  says,  "the  better."  He  has  turned  his  skill  into  a  variety 
of  hobbies.  On  any  given  day  you  may  find  him  building  models:  from 
planes  to  ships  to  cars.  The  challenge  of  electronics  whets  his  appetite  all 
the  more.  Another  interest  is  photography;  so  smile  when  you  see  Barry 
because  you  never  know!  Then  there  is  hi-fi.  His  recording  techniques  are 
very  professional.  At  some  point  in  time  Barry  became  interested  in  the 
dulcimer.  Result:  he  designed  and  built  his  own  instrument  and  he  is  now 
in  the  process  of  learning  to  play  it.  When  he  is  in  the  mood  he  writes  a 
little  poetry. 

With  all  this,  it  is  not  surprising  that  Barry  was  a  member  of  the  Jun- 
ior Achievement  Enterprise,  Perky  Products  when  that  company  cap- 
tured several  awards.  Barry  served  as  the  company  treasurer. 

Barry  does  his  share  of  exercising.  One  year  even  found  him  on  a 
winning  baseball  team. 

A  highlight  for  the  seniors  was  their  trip  to  Disney  World,  and  for 
Barry  it  was  the  first  time  ever  to  venture  outside  New  England. 

Barry  was  one  of  our  pioneer  students  in  learning  to  operate  the 
Kurzweil  Reading  Machine.  His  interest  and  ability  with  that  machine 
may  result  in  a  job  with  the  company.  Someday  he  hopes  he  may  be  a 
representative  for  Kurzweil  when  their  machines  find  their  way  to  Maine. 


WALTER  MOREIRA 

Walter  was  born  in  the  Azores  on  the  island  of  St.  Michael  in  1958. 
He  came  to  Perkins  as  a  first  grader  after  spending  only  six  months  in  a 
public  school  in  Cambridge.  This  makes  him  the  veteran  member  of  his 
class. 

Walter  has  shown  himself  to  be  a  serious  minded  student.  He  had  a 
double  promotion  from  grade  seven  to  nine.  He  has  consistently  made  the 
honor  roll  and  in  his  sophomore  year  he  took  the  Phipps  Prize  awarded 
for  academic  excellence. 

His  sports  credentials  are  solid.  He  made  the  varsity  team  in  wres- 
tling every  year  since  seventh  grade,  except  for  his  junior  year  when  he 
did  not  wrestle.  This  year  he  took  a  third  place  in  the  EAAB  wrestling 
tournament  in  Maryland.  Track  is  his  other  major  sport,  and  last  year

staff/alumni  track  meet.  The  rest  of  his  sports  time  is  devoted  to  basket- 
ball, baseball,  and  bowling. 

Leadership  and  a  strong  sense  of  responsibility  are  a  part  of  Walter's 
makeup.  He  was  the  President  of  the  P.A.A.  in  his  sophomore  year,  a 
cottage  representative  on  the  Student  Council,  and  again  this  year  he  was 
President  of  the  P.A.A.  In  all  of  this  Walter  has  demonstrated  a  strong 
sense  of  caring,  of  being  involved,  and  of  commitment.  He  knows  how  to 
take  a  stand  and  initiate  action. 

In  his  sophomore  year  Walter  was  a  member  of  the  Drama  Club  and 
had  three  important  roles  in  the  Bicentennial  Show.  Another  strong  inter- 
est of  Walter's  is  caning. 

This  summer  he  hopes  to  work  as  a  camp  counselor.  After  that  it  will 
be  "job  time"  and  hopefully  he  will  attend  night  school  where  he  will 
take  courses  in  accounting.  If  the  opportunity  affords  itself  in  a  year  or 
two,  Walter  will  go  to  school  full  time,  majoring  in  computer  science. 

NANCY  SHEEDY 

Nancy  first  attended  Perkins  in  1968.  Since  then  she  has  participated 
in  many  school  events  and  activities. 

Nancy  has  been  a  member  of  the  Drama  Club  for  the  last  four  years. 
She  has  lent  considerable  charm  and  vitality  to  the  characters  she 
portrayed. 

Last  year  Nancy  worked  hard  in  promoting  Perky  Products,  a  Junior 
Achievement  enterprise. 

For  five  years,  Nancy  has  worked  in  the  Student  Recreation  Center. 
In  view  of  her  courteous  and  efficient  manner  with  the  customers,  she  was 
able  to  work  part-time  at  a  vending  stand  in  Government  Center.  She  has 
also  worked  at  the  Howe  Press  since  her  freshman  year,  acquiring  a  con- 
siderable amount  of  experience  in  general  office  procedures  through  on- 
the-job  training. 

Nancy  enjoys  crafts  work.  Over  the  years  she  has  woven  pillows, 
placemats,  and  a  shag  rug;  knitted  a  sweater;  crocheted  an  afghan;  and 
created  a  quilt  of  her  own  design. 

Nancy  is  busy  even  in  her  leisure  time.  If  she  is  not  reading  a  con- 
temporary novel,  she  is  writing  another  original  poem  for  her  collection. 
She  also  enjoys  attending  Boston  College  dances  and  listening  to  rock 
music,  particularly  the  albums  of  Dan  Fogelburg  and  Dean  Friedman. 

But  of  all  the  events  and  activities  at  Perkins,  the  one  which  Nancy 
has  enjoyed  most  was  her  class  trip  to  Disney  World  in  Orlando,  Florida. 
It  will  always  remain  a  memorable  experience. 

After  graduation  Nancy  hopes  to  secure  a  clerical  position  in  an  of- 
fice near  her  home.

Dr.  John  D.  Fisher 


PERKINS  SCHOOL  FOR  THE   BLIND: 
A  BRIEF   HISTORY 

The  first  school  for  blind  children  anywhere  opened  its  doors  in  Paris 
in  1784  and  was  soon  followed  by  schools  in  England  and  other  Eu- 
ropean countries.  The  United  States,  which  had  only  been  in  independent 
existence  a  few  years,  took  longer  to  follow  suit,  but  by  the  1830's  the 
young  country  was  ready  and  schools  opened  their  doors  almost  simul- 
taneously in  1831  in  Boston,  New  York  City  and  Philadelphia.  These 
three  schools  still  exist  as  private  institutions  and  each  in  its  own  way  has 
provided  strong  leadership  for  almost  a  century  and  a  half. 

While  no  one  person  can  be  said  to  have  been  the  sole  Founder  of 
Perkins,  the  first  man  known  to  have  recognized  the  need  for  a  school  for 
blind  children  in  New  England  was  Dr.  John  D.  Fisher  who,  as  a  medical 
student  in  Paris,  had  visited  LTnstitution  National  des  Jeunes  Aveugles 
(The  National  Institution  for  Blind  Youth).  This  was,  and  is,  the  parent 
of  all  schools  for  the  blind  on  earth.  It  was  founded  in  1784,  five  years 
before  the  outbreak  of  the  French  Revolution,  by  Valentin  Hauy,  the  pio- 
neer in  whose  footsteps  walk  all  those  who  teach  blind  girls  and  boys. 

In  1826  Dr.  Fisher  returned  to  his  native  Boston  to  become  a  medical 
practitioner.  He  shared  his  thoughts  about  educating  blind  children  with 
a  small  group  of  his  friends  who  met  on  an  icy  day  in  February  1 829  at 
the  Exchange  Coffee  House.  He  aroused  their  interest  and  they  immedi- 
ately applied  to  the  Massachusetts  Legislature  for  a  Charter.  On  March  2, 
1829  the  New  England  Asylum  for  the  Blind  was  incorporated  "to  edu- 
cate sightless  persons." 

The  Charter  named  thirty-nine  prominent  Bostonians  as  Incorpora- 
tors. These  are  indeed  historically  the  Founding  Fathers.  Among  them 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  51 

was  John  Fisher  himself  and  the  blind  historian,  William  H.  Prescott. 
Also  included  was  a  wealthy  merchant,  Thomas  Handasyd  Perkins, 
whose  name  the  school  was  soon  to  bear.  Included  also  were  members  of 
two  Boston  families  who  have  provided  the  school  with  a  succession  of 
Trustees.  These  were  Thorndike  and  Lowell. 

In  1 830  the  Corporation  elected  its  first  officers  and  twelve  Trustees, 
one  of  whom  was  Horace  Mann.  Their  first  task  was  to  find  a  man  who 
would  set  their  ideas  to  work. 

Meanwhile  another  Boston  physician,  Samuel  Gridley  Howe,  had 
come  home  from  fighting  and  doctoring  in  the  Greek  War  of  Indepen- 
dence. On  Boylston  Street  one  day  Howe  met  by  chance  with  Fisher  and 
some  of  his  fellow  Trustees.  "Here  is  Howe!  The  very  man  we  have  been 
looking  for  all  the  time!"  said  Fisher.  The  response  was  immediate:  A 
"meeting  of  flint  with  steel,"  as  Howe's  daughter  Laura  described  it  some 
years  later. 

Without  realizing  it,  the  Founding  Fathers  had  made  an  historic 
decision. 

The  Howe  Regime  1831-1876 

The  years  which  began  with  the  accidental  encounter  between 
Fisher  and  Howe  on  Boylston  Street  in  Boston  were  indeed  important 
ones  for  blind  children  in  all  the  years  that  followed.  Decisions  made  then 
and  standards  then  established  still  have  their  effect  today  not  only  in 
Boston  but  in  distant  corners  of  the  globe. 

Lessons  from  Europe 

The  story  begins  with  Howe  visiting  European  schools  for  the  blind 
at  the  request  of  the  Trustees.  On  his  return  he  wrote  an  extensive  report 
which  in  many  ways  can  still  serve  as  a  basis  for  educational  programs  for 
blind  youth.  He  reported,  "I  visited  all  the  principal  institutions  for  the 
blind  in  Europe,  and  found  in  all  much  to  admire  and  to  copy,  but  much 
also  to  avoid."  He  was  distressed  by  the  inadequacy  of  programs  as  a 
whole.  In  France  he  found,  "There  are  only  one  in  three  hundred  of  their 
blind  who  receive  an  education." 

With  universal  free  education  a  burning  issue  in  the  United  States  at 
that  time,  it  is  not  surprising  that  Dr.  Howe,  who  was  to  become  the  close 
friend  and  collaborator  of  Horace  Mann,  should  be  dissatisfied  with  this 
situation  and  determined  to  provide  a  program  which  would  be  available 
to  all  blind  persons  who  could  profit  from  an  education. 

He  found  there  was  a  grievous  shortage  of  embossed  books  and  other 
equipment,  much  of  which  he  felt  was  of  poor  design.  He  was  particularly 
disappointed  to  find  that  most  of  the  boys  and  girls  on  leaving  school 
were  ill-prepared  for  adult  life  and  that  only  a  very  few  of  them  were  able 


52  147th  Annual  Report 

to  support  themselves.  He  was  delighted,  however,  with  the  outstanding 
successes  of  a  few,  and  recognized  the  great  importance  of  these  successes 
as  examples  for  others.  On  the  whole  he  decided  that  the  European 
schools  were  "beacons  to  warn  rather  than  lights  to  guide." 

The  happiest  of  his  recollections  was  of  boys  from  the  school  in  Paris 
playing  in  a  park  where  "they  run  away  among  the  trees,  and  frolic  and 
play  together  with  all  the  zest  and  enjoyment  of  seeing  children.  They 
know  every  tree  and  shrub,  they  careen  it  up  one  alley  and  down  another, 
they  chase,  catch,  overthrow  and  knock  each  other  about,  exactly  like 
seeing  boys;  and  to  judge  by  their  laughing  faces,  their  wild  and  unre- 
strained gestures,  and  their  loud  and  hearty  shouts,  they  partake  equally 
the  delightful  excitement  of  boyish  play."  As  a  result  of  this  observation, 
thousands  of  Perkins  boys  and  girls  were  provided  with  such  experiences. 
The  School  has  always  included  spacious  play  areas. 

Howe  wanted  to  avoid  anything  which  would  restrict  the  normal 
growth  of  blind  children.  "We  should  depend  entirely  neither  upon  phys- 
ical nor  intellectual  education,  nor  should  we  lay  down  any  general  rule 
to  be  observed  toward  all  pupils.  One  ought  to  be  even  more  observant  of 
the  bent  of  a  blind  boy's  mind,  and  the  direction  of  his  talent,  than  one  is 
in  the  education  of  seeing  children."  This  might  serve  as  the  charter  of 
our  guidance  programs  today. 

He  also  recognized  that  blind  persons  must  be  encouraged  to  behave 
as  normally  as  possible  if  they  were  to  live  satisfying  lives  in  their  own 
communities.  "I  would  observe  that  sufficient  attention  is  not  paid  to  the 
personal  demeanor  of  the  blind,  either  by  their  parents,  or  in  the  public 
institutions,  they  contract  disagreeable  habits,  whether  in  posture  or  in 
movement.  .  .  .  All  of  this  can  be  corrected  by  pursuing  the  same  means 
as  used  with  seeing  children  and  by  accustoming  them  to  society.'" 

The  First  Classes 

The  name  under  which  the  School  was  chartered  indicates  the  atti- 
tude of  Boston  society  to  the  blind  at  that  time.  While  the  word  ASY- 
LUM did  not  have  the  same  association  with  mental  sickness  that  it 
acquired  later,  it  indicated  a  refuge.  Howe  had  no  intention  of  providing 
anything  of  the  sort.  He  proposed  to  offer  a  well-balanced  education  of 
academics,  crafts,  games  and  music,  and  when  he  referred  to  the  school 
he  usually  called  it  the  New  England  Institution  for  the  Education  of  the 
Blind.  He  wanted  his  pupils  to  live  lives  as  closely  akin  to  those  of  their 
seeing  brothers  and  sisters  as  possible. 

While  in  Europe  Dr.  Howe  recognized  the  advantages  of  having

some  blind  teachers  on  his  staff.  He  knew  that  it  was  not  only  the  disin- 
terested public  and  the  over-concerned  parents  of  the  pupils  who  had  to 
be  shown  that  blind  children  could  learn  and  that  blind  adults  could  sup- 
port themselves.  Blind  children  themselves  needed  encouragement,  and 
the  example  of  competent  blind  instructors  was  invaluable.  When  he  re- 
turned from  Europe  Dr.  Howe  brought  with  him  two  blind  men — M. 
Emile  Trencheri  from  Paris  to  teach  academic  subjects,  and  Mr.  John 
Pringle  from  Edinburgh  to  give  instruction  in  crafts. 

In  July  1832,  with  two  little  girls  as  pupils — Sophia  Carter,  eight, 
and  her  six-year-old  sister  Abbey — Howe  began  teaching  in  his  father's 
house  at  140  Pleasant  Street,  Boston.  By  August  the  enrollment  had  in- 
creased to  six,  ranging  in  age  from  six  to  twenty  years. 

The  Move  to  Pearl  Street 

The  school  soon  outgrew  the  Howe  family  home.  Thomas  Handasyd 
Perkins,  who  was  one  of  the  Trustees  and  Vice-President,  was  a  wealthy 
Boston  merchant.  In  April  1833  he  offered  his  home  on  Pearl  Street  for 
the  use  of  the  school,  provided  that  during  the  month  of  May  a  fund  of 
fifty  thousand  dollars  be  raised  by  wealthy  persons  for  its  support.  This 
was  done,  for  Boston  society  was  already  learning  of  Dr.  Howe's  School 
and  giving  it  support  as  it  has  done  most  generously  ever  since.  Support 
from  a  wider  group  of  Bostonians  came  also  in  these  very  early  years  and 
a  Bazaar  was  held  in  Faneuil  Hall,  which  was  highly  successful. 

Public  Demonstrations 

Although  Dr.  Howe  had  felt  that  European  schools  gave  too  much 
attention  to  public  exhibitions,  he  soon  recognized  their  importance.  The 
School  needed  not  only  the  financial  support,  but  the  understanding  of 
the  public,  if  his  boys  and  girls  were  ever  to  be  employed  on  completing 
their  education.  Every  Saturday  the  School  was  thrown  open  and  the 
pupils  read  aloud  from  their  scanty  supply  of  embossed  books;  wrote 
painstakingly,  but  in  a  legible  script;  performed  arithmetical  calculations; 
located  geographical  features  on  raised  maps,  and  played  musical  instru- 
ments. Most  of  the  visitors  were  deeply  impressed,  but  some  skeptics  be- 
lieved the  children  could  actually  see,  and  to  counter  this  suspicion,  Dr. 
Howe  had  the  children  wear  strips  of  cloth  over  their  eyes. 

Demonstrations  were  also  given  in  many  public  places,  some  of 
which  were  of  great  importance.  Interest  was  aroused  amongst  legislators 
in  the  New  England  States,  and  several  schools  for  the  blind — including 
some  in  the  Middle  West — owe  their  origins  to  demonstrations  by  the 
Perkins  pupils  in  their  State  Capitols.

Early  Books  and  Equipment 

When  Dr.  Howe  returned  from  Europe  he  brought  with  him  three 
embossed  books  acquired  in  France  and  England,  which  now  form  a  part 
of  the  historical  collection  in  the  Perkins  library.  He  soon  recognized  that 
education  could  not  proceed  without  many  good  books.  He  also  recog- 
nized that  the  cost  of  such  books  if  they  were  made  for  the  school  alone 
would  be  prohibitive.  Consequently,  he  set  out  to  raise  money  by  his  own 
efforts  to  establish  a  printing  department  whose  publications  could  be 
sold  to  institutions  for  the  blind  throughout  the  world,  or  could  be  used  in 
exchange  for  books  made  by  other  Presses,  notably  one  in  Scotland.  His 
pioneering  nature  expressed  itself  in  the  design  of  a  new  font  of  type 
which  became  known  as  Boston  Line  Type.  This  is  still  used  by  the  Howe 
Press  at  Perkins  on  the  title  pages  of  its  braille  books.  Unfortunately,  dec- 
ades of  controversy  between  proponents  of  different  designs  of  type  now 
began,  and  "the  war  of  the  types,"  which  later  involved  several  forms  of 
braille,  was  not  satisfactorily  concluded  until  the  1920's. 

Dr.  Howe  also  recognized  the  need  for  maps  and  designed  many 
himself.  At  his  request,  the  School  printer,  Mr.  S.  P.  Ruggles,  designed 
and  manufactured  a  giant  embossed  globe  which  nowadays  has  an  hon- 
ored place  in  the  entrance  to  the  Howe  Building  in  Watertown. 

Dr.  Howe  never  solved  the  problem  of  embossed  textbooks  to  his 
own  satisfaction.  He  made  efforts  to  establish  a  national  library  for  the 
blind  without  avail,  though  his  agitation  no  doubt  paved  the  way  for  the 
founding  in  1858  of  The  American  Printing  House  for  the  Blind  in 
Louisville,  Kentucky.  The  printing  department  which  he  established  in 
1836  was  the  forerunner  of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  established  in  his 
memory  by  his  successors. 

Music 

The  rules  and  regulations  which  the  Trustees  drew  up  when  the 
School  opened  required  that  "the  pupils  will  be  taught  reading,  writing, 
arithmetic,  algebra,  geography,  history,  physiology  and  such  other  sub- 
jects that  are  taught  in  the  best  common  schools;  beside  vocal  and  instru- 
mental music." 

The  School  actually  opened  with  a  staff  of  five,  including  Dr.  Howe 
and  a  matron.  We  have  already  mentioned  M.  Trencheri  and  Mr.  Pringle. 
The  third  instructor  was  Mr.  Lowell  Mason,  Professor  of  Music.  Among 
the  earliest  appeals  for  funds  by  Dr.  Howe  was  a  request  for  two  thou- 
sand dollars  for  pianofortes,  organs  and  other  instruments.  Soon  the 
School  had  thirteen  pianos,  and  it  was  reported  that  they  were  kept  in  al- 
most continual  action  from  six  o'clock  in  the  morning  until  nine  in  the 
evening.  Vocal  music  was  much  cultivated  and.  with  great  success,  the 
pupils  giving  public  concerts  which  afforded  "entire  satisfaction  to  the 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  55 

audiences."  Some  of  the  pupils  were  prepared  to  become  church  organ- 
ists. The  curriculum  for  the  day  was  "in  general  terms,  the  pupils  devote 
four  hours  daily  to  intellectual  labor;  four  hours  to  vocal  and  instrumen- 
tal music;  four  to  recreation  and  eating;  four  hours  to  manual  labor  and 
eight  to  sleep." 

It  is  notable  that  even  as  early  as  the  1837  Report  Dr.  Howe  states 
that  "we  would  also  ask  for  our  pupils  a  share  of  public  patronage  in  the 
business  of  tuning  pianofortes.  Some  of  them  can  tune  in  the  best  style. 
Pianofortes  will  be  kept  in  order  by  the  year  at  a  reasonable  rate  and  the 
work  warranted  to  give  satisfaction  to  competent  judges." 

Early  Graduates 

It  should  be  noted  also  that  in  1837  ten  pupils  had  been  discharged 
and  "we  are  happy  to  add  that  all  of  them  left  under  circumstances  cred- 
itable to  themselves  and  much  benefited  by  the  instruction  they  had  re- 
ceived. One  of  them — A.  W.  Penniman — was  employed  by  the  Trustees 
of  the  new  Institution  in  the  State  of  Ohio  to  commence  and  direct  their 
school  and  he  is  now  thus  employed  both  respectably  and  profitably  to 
himself.  Charles  Morrill,  one  of  the  earliest  pupils,  has  become  such  a 
proficient  in  the  science  of  vocal  music  that  he  readily  found  employment 
as  a  teacher  and  is  now  so  employed  in  the  Academy  at  Deny,  N.H.  He 
has  large  classes  of  seeing  children  under  his  charge  and  succeeds  well. 
His  knowledge  of  the  organ  and  tuning  pianofortes  afford  him  additional 
means  of  obtaining  a  livelihood.  Three  of  the  others  who  had  attended 
chiefly  to  mechanical  employments  have  commenced  work  in  their  native 
towns  and  with  the  capacity  and  prospect  of  being  able  by  industry  and 
perseverance  to  obtain  their  own  livelihood." 

1837 — A  Memorable  Year 

In  this  year  Dr.  Howe  opened  a  workshop  for  adults.  He  did  this  re- 
luctantly for  he  had  hoped  by  including  crafts  in  the  school  program  and 
by  giving  a  normal  education  to  his  boys  and  girls  he  could  demonstrate 
satisfactorily  to  the  wealthy  manufacturers  and  merchants  of  Boston  that 
blind  men  and  women  were  desirable  employees.  While  he  never  seemed 
to  have  much  trouble  in  persuading  his  rich  friends  to  open  their  pocket- 
books,  he  found  that  they  were  extremely  reluctant  to  add  blind  persons 
to  their  payrolls. 

Consequently,  he  decided  he  would  have  a  demonstration  Shop 
where  blind  men  and  women  could  obtain  specific  training  in  useable 
skills.  He  desired  strongly  to  avoid  patterns  which  he  had  observed  in  Eu- 
rope in  which  the  majority  of  the  adult  blind  were  employed  permanently 
in  sheltered  workshops. 


56  147th  Annual  Report 

However,  even  with  this  demonstration  Shop,  Howe  was  never  able 
to  place  all  of  his  pupils  in  satisfactory  employ,  and  the  Workshop  which 
opened  in  1837  was  to  continue  until  1952,  the  longest  span  of  years  of 
any  American  Workshop  for  the  Blind  at  that  time. 

"The  main  object  of  all  these  instrumentalities  is  to  give  to  the  pupils 
a  store  of  useful  knowledge;  to  develop  in  them  the  aesthetic  sense;  to 
train  them  up  in  virtuous  and  industrious  habits;  to  cultivate  and 
strengthen  their  mental  and  bodily  powers  by  systematic  and  constant 
exercise;  and,  lastly,  to  make  them  hardy  and  self-reliant,  so  that  they 
may  go  out  into  the  world,  not  to  eat  the  bread  of  charity,  but  to  earn  a 
livelihood  by  honest  work." 

An  important  event  took  place  in  1837.  Among  the  pupils  admitted 
that  year  was  Laura  Bridgman,  a  seven-year-old  child  from  New  Hamp- 
shire. Laura,  the  first  deaf-blind  child  ever  to  be  successfully  educated, 
was  Dr.  Howe's  own  personal  pupil. 

In  1842  Charles  Dickens  visited  America  and  on  his  return  to  En- 
gland published  his  American  notes  which  were  largely  critical  of  the  new 
country.  However,  his  praise  for  what  Dr.  Howe  and  Laura  Bridgman 
had  accomplished  together  was  widely  read  throughout  Europe  and 
gave  the  young  school  an  international  standing  which  has  grown  ever 
since. 

The  Move  to  South  Boston 

In  1839  the  School  enrollment  had  grown  to  sixty-five  and  the  Per- 
kins residence  on  Pearl  Street  was  no  longer  adequate.  At  this  time  the 
large  hotel,  known  as  the  Mount  Washington  House  at  South  Boston, 
came  on  the  market.  To  provide  funds  for  the  purchase  of  this  property, 
Mr.  Perkins  allowed  his  Pearl  Street  estate  to  be  sold.  This  generous  act 
was  recognized  by  the  Corporation  changing  the  name  of  the  School  to 
Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts  Asylum  for  the  Blind. 

Ten  years  after  Dr.  Howe  met  Dr.  Fisher,  he  could  look  back  on  a 
remarkable  achievement.  The  School  had  been  founded  and  its  finances, 
while  strictly  limited,  were  adequate  for  the  moment.  Certain  principles 
and  standards  had  been  established  which  had  already  proved  beneficial 
to  the  pupils  in  the  School  and  which  were  to  benefit  many  more  as  the 
years  went  by. 

For  another  thirty-four  years  Howe  directed  the  School,  enlarging 
and  improving  the  buildings.  In  1870  he  introduced,  on  a  small  scale,  the 
Cottage  System  of  student  living  which  is  such  an  important  feature  of 
the  School  today.  To  the  end  of  his  life  he  emphasized  always  the  desir- 
ability of  training  blind  children  for  adult  careers  in  which  they  would 
share  to  the  fullest  the  lives  of  their  families  and  participate  in  commu- 
nity life.  Dr.  Howe  died  in  1 876  at  the  age  of  seventy-four.

The  Anagnos  Years 

It  was  appropriate  that  Dr.  Howe's  successor,  Michael  Anagnos, 
should  be  a  Greek.  Howe  had  fought  for  the  political  independence  of 
Greek  citizens  before  he  began  laboring  for  the  social  and  economic  in- 
dependence of  blind  men  and  women  in  America. 

In  1 867  Howe  was  back  in  Greece  distributing  relief  supplies  to  the 
Cretans  who  were  rebelling  against  the  Turks.  There  he  met  Michael  An- 
agnos who  followed  him  back  to  Boston  where  he  not  only  became  his 
son-in-law,  but  served  as  his  right-hand  man  during  the  last  years  of  his 
life. 

The  international  outlook  which  Howe  brought  to  the  School  was 
maintained  by  Anagnos,  and  one  of  the  first  acts  of  his  directorship  was 
to  cooperate  with  a  school  for  the  blind  in  Vienna  in  building  up  a  Blind- 
iana  Library  and  Museum.  In  later  years  this  Library  was  to  prove  inval- 
uable in  our  teacher-training  programs. 

Michael  Anagnos  had  been  a  newspaper  editor  in  Athens.  His  early 
struggles  for  an  education  made  him  sympathetic  to  the  desire  for  learn- 
ing wherever  he  found  it,  and  this  desire  was  strong  among  many  blind 
boys  and  girls  at  Perkins.  In  his  efforts  to  raise  the  standard  of  instruction 
to  a  higher  level,  he  soon  encountered  the  same  shortage  of  embossed 
books  which  had  plagued  Dr.  Howe.  In  spite  of  all  Dr.  Howe's  efforts,  the 
School  printing  press  was  small  and  inadequately  financed.  As  a  tribute 
to  his  predecessor,  Michael  Anagnos  in  1881  established  the  Howe  Me- 
morial Press  and  appealed  successfully  to  the  public  for  funds  for  its 
endowment. 

First  Kindergarten  for  the  Blind 

Anagnos  is  best  remembered  for  the  "kindergarten  for  the  blind" 
which  he  established  in  Jamaica  Plain,  a  section  of  Boston,  in  1887.  Up 
until  this  time  pupils  were  not  usually  accepted  at  Perkins  below  the  age 
of  eight  or  nine.  In  the  new  kindergarten  they  started  as  early  as  five.  This 
School  unit,  which  included  not  only  a  kindergarten  year,  but  the  first  six 
grades,  was  generously  financed  by  the  people  of  Boston  under  the  per- 
sistent and  skillful  urging  of  the  School's  second  Director. 

Anne  Sullivan  and  Helen  Keller 

Probably  the  incident  in  Michael  Anagnos'  career  which  is  the  best 
known  throughout  the  world  was  his  choice  of  Anne  Sullivan,  a  recent 
graduate  from  Perkins,  to  go  down  to  Alabama  to  work  with  the  infant 
Helen  Keller.  Using  only  the  reports  which  Dr.  Howe  had  compiled  of  his 
work  with  Laura  Bridgman,  Anne  Sullivan  proved  equal  to  the  task  of 
teaching  language  to  Helen  Keller.  The  two  of  them  spent  the  years  1889 
to  1 893  at  Perkins  as  the  guests  of  Michael  Anagnos  whose  encourage- 
ment was  a  major  factor  in  the  success  of  these  two  remarkable  women. 


58  147th  Annual  Report 

Faculty  Growth 

Perhaps  the  real  measure  of  Michael  Anagnos'  directorship  was 
the  spectacular  increase  in  the  number  of  teachers.  When  he  became  di- 
rector in  1876  there  were  eleven  teachers  for  147  pupils,  or  one  teacher  to 
each  13  children.  Moreover,  no  fewer  than  five  of  these  11  were  music 
teachers.  For  academic  instruction  there  was  one  teacher  for  every  29 
pupils. 

At  the  time  of  his  death,  which  took  place  in  Romania  in  1906  in  his 
seventieth  year,  there  were  two  separate  schools,  the  Lower  School  in  Ja- 
maica Plain,  and  the  Upper  School  in  South  Boston.  In  the  former,  18 
teachers  (five  of  them  for  music)  taught  1 1 8  children,  a  ratio  of  one  to  six 
and  a  half.  Teachers  of  academic  subjects  were  one  to  nine. 

In  the  Upper  School  in  South  Boston  46  teachers  taught  171  pupils,  a 
ratio  of  one  to  four.  In  academic  subjects  the  ratio  was  one  to  nine,  the 
same  as  in  Jamaica  Plain.  This  unique  high  ratio  of  teacher  to  pupils  has 
been  a  characteristic  feature  of  Perkins  ever  since. 

Edward  E.  Allen,  Educator 

Dr.  Howe  was  a  physician,  and  Michael  Anagnos,  while  a  scholar, 
was  primarily  an  editor.  The  School's  third  Director,  who  succeeded  Mi- 
chael Anagnos  on  his  death  in  1906,  was  an  educator.  After  graduating 
from  Harvard  he  had  taught  for  several  years  in  the  Royal  Normal 
School  for  the  Blind  in  London — a  school  whose  first  Director  was 
Francis  Campbell,  a  former  music  teacher  at  Perkins.  From  London  Dr. 
Allen  returned  to  Boston  where  he  taught  at  Perkins  for  several  years.  He 
was  then  appointed  superintendent  of  the  School  for  Blind  in  Philadel- 
phia where  he  remained  for  sixteen  years. 

In  1906  he  was  called  back  to  Boston  on  the  death  of  Michael  An- 
agnos, and  almost  immediately  began  a  campaign  to  move  the  School 
from  South  Boston  to  some  site  where  there  would  be  space  for  greater 
physical  activity.  Quoting  the  philosophy  of  Francis  Campbell,  whom  he 
greatly  admired,  he  made  a  plea  for  facilities  where  the  blind  boys  and 
girls  could  be  brought  up  in  a  much  more  active  manner  than  was  possi- 
ble within  the  narrow  confines  at  South  Boston.  In  1910  he  had  found  the 
spot  he  was  looking  for  on  the  Stickney  estate  in  Watertown,  and  during 
the  next  three  years  both  the  School  in  South  Boston  and  the  Kindergar- 
ten in  Jamaica  Plain  were  moved  to  the  present  site. 

Dr.  Edward  E.  Allen  is  responsible  for  many  firsts  in  the  education 
of  the  blind.  His  strong  interest  in  physical  activity  for  youth  led  him  to 
appoint  the  first  trained  physiotherapist  in  any  school  for  the  blind  in 
1908. 

The  Watertown  plant  carried  to  fruition  the  Cottage  Family  plan  in- 
augurated by  Dr.  Howe,  but  Dr.  Allen  immediately  recognized  that  for 
the  plan  to  succeed  as  he  hoped,  it  was  necessary  that  a  much  closer  con- 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  59 

tact  between  the  Perkins  Cottage  Family  and  the  pupils'  own  families  was 
desirable.  In  1916  he  appointed  a  Home  Visitor,  the  first  ever  to  serve  a 
school  for  the  blind  on  a  full-time  basis.  A  year  or  two  later,  together  with 
the  Overbrook  School  for  the  Blind,  Dr.  Allen  engaged  the  services  of  Dr. 
Samuel  P.  Hayes,  Head  of  the  Psychology  Department  at  Mt.  Holyoke 
College,  to  prepare  the  first  psychological  tests  for  blind  children.  These 
tests — known  as  the  Hayes-Binet  Tests — successfully  demonstrated  for 
the  first  time  that  the  population  of  blind  people  does  not  differ  in  intelli- 
gence from  the  population  of  the  seeing.  That  is,  there  is  approximately 
the  same  percentage  of  superior,  normal  and  inferior  blind  as  you  find 
among  seeing  boys  and  girls. 

In  1920  Dr.  Allen  took  the  first  steps  towards  placing  the  education 
of  blind  children  on  a  professional  level  comparable  to  the  best  public 
and  private  schools  in  the  country.  In  this  year,  the  first  graduate-level 
teacher-training  program  for  teachers  of  the  blind  was  established  at  Per- 
kins in  cooperation  with  Harvard  University.  In  1924  Dr.  Allen  ap- 
pointed the  first  Speech  Therapist  as  a  full-time  employee  in  a  school  for 
the  blind. 

By  the  end  of  the  first  century  of  the  school's  history  when  Dr.  Allen 
retired,  the  shape  of  Perkins  as  we  know  it  today,  its  ideals  and  its  stan- 
dards were  firmly  established. 

The  three  Directors  who  headed  the  School  throughout  this  century 
were  all  mindful  of  the  fact  that  the  population  of  blind  people  is  a  rela- 
tively small  one.  The  blind  would  always  be  a  minority  group,  and  con- 
sequently, if  blind  men  and  women  were  to  take  their  place  among  the 
seeing  majority,  they  must  make  a  greater  effort  to  succeed  in  whatever 
they  set  out  to  accomplish. 

In  a  larger  sense,  however,  it  was  not  so  much  the  efforts  of  these 
three  men  that  made  the  School  what  it  is  today,  but  the  fact  that 
throughout  ten  decades  the  challenges  which  these  directors  and  their 
staffs  hurled  at  their  pupils  were  picked  up  and  eagerly  accepted,  and  in 
many  cases  surpassed.  All  that  the  Perkins  faculty  could  do  was  to  offer 
opportunities  to  their  boys  and  girls.  It  was  the  good  use  to  which  these 
young  people  put  these  opportunities  that  made  Perkins  a  great  success. 
The  history  of  the  School  was  written  rather  in  the  efforts  of  Sophia 
Carter,  the  first  blind  child  to  come  to  Perkins,  and  her  many  successors: 
such  as  Laura  Bridgman,  A.  W.  Penniman,  Stephen  Blaisdell,  Anne  Sul- 
livan and  Helen  Keller. 

Perkins  was  not  only  a  school  whose  innovations  were  important  to 
itself  and  to  other  schools  in  the  United  States  for  by  1931  it  had  become 
well  known  in  other  lands.  The  visits  of  all  the  three  Directors  to  Europe, 
the  story  Charles  Dickens  wrote  about  Laura  Bridgman  and  the  out- 
standing work  of  Francis  Campbell,  a  former  blind  teacher  at  Perkins, 
who  helped  to  found  the  Royal  Normal  School  for  the  Blind  in  London, 


60  147th  Annual  Report 

England,  had  given  the  school  a  unique  standing  which  was  greatly  en- 
hanced by  the  enrollment  of  teachers  in  training  from  overseas. 

Undoubtedly  an  important  factor  in  this  development  was  the  pres- 
ence among  the  Trustees  throughout  the  years  of  men  with  overseas  in- 
terests and  an  international  outlook.  Dr.  Fisher  studied  in  Europe. 
Colonel  Perkins  spent  his  life  in  overseas  commerce  and  traveled  exten- 
sively in  the  Caribbean,  Europe  and  the  Far  East.  Another  of  our  foun- 
ders was  William  H.  Prescott,  the  historian  of  Spain  and  with  Spanish 
conquests  in  South  America.  Horace  Mann,  an  early  Trustee,  studied  in 
European  education.  New  England  society  had  many  world  ties  and 
Boston  generosity  was  not  confined  to  the  blind  members  of  its  own 
community. 

This  international  interest  continued  into  the  second  century  and  has 
been  a  matter  of  major  concern  to  the  Trustees  and  administration  of 
Perkins  up  to  the  present  date. 

Second  Century 

On  the  retirement  of  Dr.  Edward  E.  Allen  and  the  appointment  of 
Dr.  Gabriel  Farrell  to  succeed  him,  the  School  started  on  its  second  cen- 
tury. Dr.  Farrell,  who  was  an  Episcopalian  minister  of  varied  experience, 
brought  to  the  School  a  vigor  and  organizing  ability  that  led  to  immediate 
improvements. 

One  of  his  first  tasks  was  to  organize  the  work  for  the  Deaf-Blind 
into  a  special  department  under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Inez  B.  Hall,  a  pi- 
oneer in  the  use  of  the  vibration  technique  of  teaching  deaf-blind  chil- 
dren to  speak. 

In  Dr.  Farrell's  early  years  also  many  improvements  in  the  business 
of  the  institution  took  place,  and  a  notable  event  was  the  creation  of  the 
Officer  of  Bursar  to  handle  business  affairs.  In  these  years,  too,  the  School 
which  had  virtually  been  three  schools,  Lower  School,  Boys'  Upper 
School  and  Girls'  Upper  School,  were  combined  into  a  single  unit  with 
the  educational  program  under  the  control  of  a  single  Principal. 

The  Perkins  "Lantern" 

Dr.  Farrell  was  an  experienced  journalist  and  it  was  natural  that  as  a 
result  he  should  inaugurate  a  magazine  to  acquaint  friends  of  Perkins 
with  the  affairs  of  the  School.  This  magazine,  The  Lantern,  which  is  is- 
sued quarterly  in  print  and  braille  form,  was  established  in  1931.  It  has 
done  much  to  acquaint  workers  in  this  field  with  the  School's  endeavors 
and  to  bring  it  many  friends  among  the  general  public.  It  also  serves  to 
keep  former  students  more  closely  in  touch  with  their  School. 

The  years  of  World  War  II  were  difficult  ones  for  the  School  and  a 
number  of  the  older  boys  left  earlier  than  they  would  have  otherwise  to 
obtain  employment.  However,  the  changing  situation  in  the  labor  market 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  61 

since  World  War  II  has  brought  about  many  new  opportunities  for  em- 
ployment among  the  blind.  The  goal  which  Dr.  Howe  sought  of  finding 
unsheltered  employment  for  all  the  boys  and  girls  of  the  School  finally 
became  a  reality  in  the  closing  years  of  Dr.  Farrell's  directorship  which 
ended  in  1951. 

The  Fifth  Director 

As  a  result  of  this  changing  economic  situation,  one  of  the  first  acts 
of  the  fifth  Director,  Dr.  Edward  J.  Waterhouse,  who  succeeded  Dr.  Far- 
rell  in  195 1,  was  the  closing  of  the  Workshop  which  Dr.  Howe  established 
in  1837.  This  Workshop  was  partly  rendered  superfluous  by  the  estab- 
lishment in  recent  years  of  State  Workshops.  For  over  a  decade  no  Per- 
kins pupil  had  sought  employment  in  the  Perkins  Shop.  It  was  only  a 
matter  of  time  before  the  plant  would  close  down  of  its  own  volition.  It 
seemed  wiser  to  bring  about  a  more  orderly  demise,  and  the  Workshop 
was  officially  closed  in  June  1952. 

While  the  last  decade  is  too  close  to  the  present  for  evaluation,  cer- 
tain events  may  be  recorded.  The  work  of  Dr.  Hayes,  encouraged  by  both 
Dr.  Allen  and  Dr.  Farrell,  led  in  turn  to  the  establishment  of  a  guidance 
department  employing  several  clinical  psychologists.  Dr.  Allen  had 
added  a  psychometrist  to  the  staff,  a  practice  which  Dr.  Farrell  had  con- 
tinued. In  the  1950's  Guidance  Counselling  became  an  important  part  of 
the  School  program. 

The  Retrolental-fibroplasia  Wave 

The  first  child  to  be  admitted  to  Perkins  whose  blindness  was  caused 
by  retrolental  fibroplasia  was  enrolled  in  1946.- This  disease  which  re- 
sulted from  excessive  exposure  of  prematurely  born  infants  to  oxygen  was 
soon  to  add  thousands  of  girls  and  boys  to  schools  and  classes  for  the 
blind  in  the  1950's.  Fortunately  this  disease  was  rapidly  brought  under 
control  and  it  is  a  rare  event  for  a  child  to  lose  his  sight  for  this  reason 
nowadays.  At  Perkins,  where  the  enrollment  had  been  steadily  declining, 
an  immediate  increase  was  experienced.  Between  1946  and  1951,  while 
the  Upper  School  population  decreased  by  28,  the  Lower  School  in- 
creased by  32.  Soon  the  total  school  population,  which  had  declined  to 
234  in  1943,  was  in  excess  of  300. 

This  increase  would  have  been  far  greater  had  it  not  been  for  the 
rapid  increase  at  this  time  of  classes  for  blind  children  in  the  public 
schools  throughout  the  United  States.  This  was  largely  the  result  of  the 
retrolental-fibroplasia  wave  and  the  desire  of  parents  to  keep  their  chil- 
dren at  home.  In  a  few  years  more  than  half  the  blind  children  in 
America  were  being  educated  in  this  way.  Had  it  not  been  for  this  pro- 
gram, in  New  England,  Perkins  would  have  been  forced  to  increase  its 
capacity  considerably.

The  Deaf-Blind  Department 

The  Deaf-Blind  Department  which  had  flourished  since  its  organiza- 
tion in  1931  until  the  outbreak  of  World  War  II  was  in  serious  danger  of 
collapse  in  the  years  which  followed  the  War.  There  was  an  acute  na- 
tional shortage  of  trained  teachers  of  the  deaf — the  source  upon  which 
Perkins  has  mainly  drawn  for  its  teachers  for  its  deaf-blind  children.  It 
became  necessary  for  Perkins  to  establish  its  own  program  for  training 
teachers  of  the  deaf-blind  which  was  worked  out  in  cooperation  with 
Boston  University  in  1955.  A  program  of  research  was  also  established  in 
the  Deaf-Blind  Department  at  this  time.  The  Department  grew  from  five 
pupils  in  1953  to  forty  pupils  in  1969,  making  it  by  far  the  largest  in  the 
world.  It  included  over  one-third  of  all  deaf-blind  pupils  in  special  pro- 
grams in  the  United  States.  In  February  1968  a  day  program  for  pre- 
school deaf-blind  pupils  was  opened  to  accommodate  local  victims  of  the 
1963-64  maternal  rubella  epidemic. 

The  Rubella  Wave 

As  the  retrolental-fibroplasia  wave  began  to  recede  and  hopes  grew 
that  the  total  number  of  the  blind  and  deaf-blind  in  the  United  States 
would  rapidly  decline,  the  maternal  rubella  epidemic  changed  the  situa- 
tion markedly.  Within  a  few  years  the  total  number  of  deaf-blind  chil- 
dren to  need  an  education  in  the  United  States,  which  had  probably 
numbered  less  than  300,  rose  to  nearer  3000  and  Perkins  had  to  plan  to 
meet  this  challenge.  The  Trustees  authorized  the  construction  of  new 
buildings  which  were  opened  in  1970  and  1971  as  the  population  of  deaf- 
blind  gradually  increased  from  what  had  been  steadily  in  the  30's  to  two 
or  three  times  that  number. 

New  England  Center  for  Deaf-Blind  Children 

As  a  result  of  the  first  federal  legislation  for  the  education  of  deaf- 
blind  children,  Perkins  was  named  the  New  England  Regional  Center  for 
Deaf-Blind  Children  and  assigned  the  responsibility  of  organizing  and 
supervising  programs  for  these  doubly  handicapped  children  throughout 
the  region. 

Education  of  the  Public 

Ever  since  Dr.  Howe's  days,  it  has  been  recognized  at  Perkins  that 
one  of  the  important  responsibilities  of  a  school  for  the  blind  is  to  educate 
the  public  whenever  possible  concerning  the  abilities  of  blind  persons. 
The  demonstrations  which  Dr.  Howe  inaugurated  are  still  carried  out, 
though  nowadays  they  are  held  annually  instead  of  weekly.  Emphasis  is 
now  on  methods  of  mass  education,  and  during  recent  years,  seven  pro- 
fessional motion  picture  films  have  been  produced  for  Perkins  by  Camp- 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  63 

bell  Films.  The  first  of  these  was  entitled  "The  Perkins  Story"  and  ap- 
peared in  1956.  Although  quite  out  of  date  in  many  respects,  it  is  still  very 
popular.  This  was  followed  by  "Children  of  the  Silent  Night"  which  dealt 
with  our  deaf-blind  children.  The  third  film  entitled  "The  Legacy  of 
Anne  Sullivan"  was  made  in  collaboration  with  the  Industrial  Home  for 
the  Blind,  Brooklyn,  New  York  as  part  of  the  celebration  of  the  100th 
anniversary  of  the  birth  of  Anne  Sullivan  in  1966.  A  further  film  entitled 
"The  Realities  of  Blindness — The  Perkins  Experience"  was  completed  in 
1971  as  a  replacement  for  "The  Perkins  Story."  Two  additional  films  on 
the  deaf-blind  have  been  completed  and  are  in  circulation.  These  are 
"The  World  of  Deaf-Blind  Children— How  They  Communicate"  and 
"The  World  of  Deaf-Blind  Children — Growing  Up."  A  film  on  career 
education,  "The  Perkins  Story — Adapting  to  Change,"  has  been  com- 
pleted and  is  in  distribution.  Hundreds  of  copies  of  these  films  are  in 
constant  circulation. 

The  Sixth  Director 

In  August,  1971,  Benjamin  F.  Smith  became  the  sixth  Director,  suc- 
ceeding Dr.  Edward  J.  Waterhouse.  Mr.  Smith  came  to  the  position  with 
thirty-two  years  of  experience  at  Perkins,  during  which  time  he  served  as 
a  teacher,  as  Principal  and  as  Assistant  Director.  He  was  the  first  visually 
handicapped  man  to  head  the  school. 

Program  Revision  Needed 

Since  the  student  population  was  changing  rapidly  with  the  in- 
creased number  of  multi-impaired  students,  including  the  deaf-blind, 
changes  were  necessary  in  the  school  program. 

Career  Education 

In  September,  1972,  Perkins  established  a  career  education  program, 
beginning  with  junior  and  senior  high  school  students,  with  emphasis  on 
the  development  of  positive  work  attitudes  and  personal  living  skills.  The 
major  components  of  this  program  include  practical  academics,  training 
in  home  and  personal  management,  vocational  exploration  and  increased 
emphasis  in  the  areas  of  orientation  and  mobility,  speech  therapy  and 
occupational  therapy.  Actual  work  experiences,  both  on  and  off  campus, 
serve  as  valuable  supplements  to  the  classroom  work. 

Special  Cottage-Based  Programs 

As  the  population  of  multi-impaired  students  continued  to  increase, 
a  number  of  special  cottage-based  programs  were  developed  in  which 
students  received  classroom  instruction  in  their  cottages,  in  conjunction 
with  training  in  living  and  social  skills.  The  first  of  these  programs,  which 


64  147th  Annual  Report 

was  established  in  Fisher  Cottage,  was  for  a  group  of  Lower  School  boys 
and  girls  whose  chronological  age  was  beyond  those  being  served  in  or 
were  too  old  to  remain  in  the  Lower  School,  but  whose  academic  and  so- 
cial skills  were  insufficient  to  compete  in  the  Upper  School.  Here,  in  ad- 
dition to  receiving  instruction  in  useful  academics,  students  share  in  food 
purchasing,  meal  preparation,  and  in  the  setting  up  of  cottage  procedures 
and  regulations. 

Two  additional  programs  of  the  cottage-classroom  type  were  added 
one  year  after  the  inception  of  the  Fisher  Program  in  1973;  the  Potter 
Program,  which  was  designed  for  pupils  needing  less  academic  emphasis, 
and  the  Brooks  Program,  where  the  curriculum  was  oriented  more  to- 
wards rehabilitation  goals. 

Two  programs  serving  the  needs  of  deaf-blind  students,  were  estab- 
lished in  Eliot  and  Oliver  cottages  during  the  second  and  third  years  fol- 
lowing the  Potter  and  Brooks  programs.  Both  the  Eliot  Program,  which  is 
for  older  students,  and  the  Oliver  Program,  for  younger  students,  stress 
training  in  self-help  skills  and  socialization  in  conjunction  with  useful 
academics. 

Community  Residence  Training  Program 

To  serve  the  needs  of  a  group  of  young  deaf-blind  adults  and  a  group 
of  young  multi-impaired  adults,  Perkins  established  a  community  resi- 
dence training  program  in  1973  in  Bridgman  Cottage.  Here,  under  a  su- 
pervisory and  instructional  staff,  students  receive  training  in  skills 
designed  to  equip  them  for  semi-structured  community  living  after  leav- 
ing Perkins.  As  part  of  their  training,  students  become  responsible  for 
maintaining  their  living  quarters,  preparing  meals,  shopping,  establishing 
bank  accounts  and  developing  recreational  skills. 

Young  Adult  Rehabilitation  Program 

In  September,  1974,  a  young  adult  rehabilitation  program  was 
started,  primarily  for  clients  of  state  agencies  for  the  blind.  This  is  an 
eleven  months  program  that  has  been  financially  supported  by  rehabilita- 
tion agencies  throughout  the  New  England  states  and  New  Jersey.  In- 
cluded in  the  program  are  a  number  of  residential  and  public  high  school 
students,  ranging  in  age  from  1 8-30  years,  who  are  in  need  of  intensive 
rehabilitation  in  order  to  achieve  integration  into  their  communities. 
Each  client  is  enrolled  in  subjects  specific  to  his/her  needs. 

A  second  community  residence  training  program  was  established  in 
Tompkins  Cottage  to  serve  the  needs  of  the  young  adult  rehabilitation 
clients,  including  a  group  of  multi-impaired.  Those  clients  in  the  program 
who  demonstrate  capability  for  apartment  living  become  eligible  for 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  65 

transfer  to  a  program  of  independent  apartment  living  in  the  Northeast 
Building. 

Vocational  Training  Expanded 

During  the  period  1971-1977,  there  was  a  marked  expansion  in  the 
Vocational  Training  Program,  with  an  increase  in  the  number  of  courses 
being  offered.  In  the  Industrial  Education  Department  courses  in  Photog- 
raphy, Small  Engine  Repair,  Wood  and  Metal  Industries  and  Graphics 
were  introduced.  New  courses  offered  in  other  departments  included: 
Switchboard  Operation,  Salesmanship,  Retail  Management,  Food  Ser- 
vice Training  and  Child  Care  Training. 

New  Special  Education  Legislation 

While  Perkins  was  adapting  its  program  to  meet  the  needs  of  its 
changing  student  population,  new  special  education  legislation,  both  fed- 
eral and  state,  was  being  enacted.  The  most  significant  of  this  legislation 
for  Perkins  was  that  passed  in  Massachusetts  in  1974  known  as  Chapter 
766,  which  mandates  that  each  community  provide  education  for  every 
child,  regardless  of  his/her  handicap.  Options  for  educational  placement 
of  children  in  private  schools  such  as  Perkins  were  to  be  considered  only 
after  all  other  possible  options  were  explored  in  public  school  settings. 
Fortunately,  Perkins,  with  its  variety  of  programs  geared  for  the  broad 
population  of  multi-impaired  students,  as  well  as  for  the  visually  im- 
paired, has  been  able  to  provide  a  program  of  educational  services  not 
obtainable  in  most  settings. 

The  Seventh  Director 

On  July  1,  1977,  Charles  C.  Woodcock  became  the  seventh  Director 
of  Perkins,  succeeding  Benjamin  F.  Smith. 

Before  coming  to  Perkins,  Mr.  Woodcock  served  for  five  years  as 
Superintendent  of  the  Iowa  Braille  and  Sight  Saving  School,  Vinton, 
Iowa,  and  for  twenty  years  at  the  Oregon  State  School  for  the  Blind,  the 
last  twelve  as  Director.  He  is  well  known  in  the  field  for  his  development 
of  innovative  programs  for  blind  children  especially  for  the  multi- 
impaired. 

Since  coming  to  Perkins,  the  new  Director  has  worked  closely  with 
his  staff  in  developing  a  program  designed  to  meet  both  the  present  and 
future  needs  of  the  students. 

With  a  task  force  of  selected  staff,  he  is  studying  the  entire  Perkins 
organization  and  working  to  develop  progressive  school  and  personnel 
policies  while  guiding  the  activities  of  the  Assistant  Director  in  a  major 
restructuring  of  the  instructional  programs. 

The  restructuring  will  result  in  units  responsible  for  planning  the 


66 


147th  Annual  Report 


total  program  for  each  student  or  client  within  the  unit.  It  will  provide 
various  options  for  short  term  enrollment  and  a  close  working  relation- 
ship with  local  education  agencies. 

Pupils'  Attitudes  Unchanged 

Were  Dr.  Howe  to  return  to  the  School,  he  would  find  that  many  of 
his  dreams  had  been  fulfilled.  He  would  wholeheartedly  endorse  the 
spirit  of  determination  of  the  blind  and  deaf-blind  boys  and  girls  of  today 
to  overcome  any  impairment  in  the  same  manner  as  in  the  School's  early 
years.  He  would  be  particularly  gratified  to  find  that  many  pupils  leaving 
the  School  become  economically  and  socially  independent.  Both  he  and 
Horace  Mann  would  approve  the  opportunities  the  School  is  offering  to 
the  multi-impaired  blind.

Philosophy  and  Goals 

Philosophy 

Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  accepts  students  from  the  New  England 
states  and  other  parts  of  the  country  as  well  as  from  overseas.  Since  its 
founding,  Perkins  has  provided  equal  opportunities  to  all  students  re- 
gardless of  the  geographic  location  from  which  they  come.  The  school 
also  accepts  responsibility  for  educating  students  who  have  impairments 
in  addition  to  that  of  blindness  and  visual  impairment,  such  as  deafness, 
mental  retardation,  moderate  emotional  problems,  neurological  impair- 
ment, orthopedic  disabilities,  and  perceptual  dysfunction. 


Goals 

The  overall  goals  of  Perkins  include: 


Education — To  assist  blind  and  visually  impaired  children  to  attain  a 
level  of  individual  mastery  of  their  physical,  social,  emotional,  aca- 
demic, and  spiritual  worlds.  Perkins  provides  individual  attention 
wherever  it  is  needed.  Classes  are  small  and  the  teacher-pupil  ratio  is 
high.  An  extensive  diagnostic  and  evaluation  program  helps  in  plac- 
ing each  pupil  in  his  correct  grade  and  reveals  possible  needs  for 
change. 

Interpretation — To  assist  the  public  to  attain  an  informed  status  about  the 
many  visual  deficit  conditions  and  the  implications  of  these  condi- 
tions for  personal  adjustment  and  individual  competence  within  the 
context  of  community  living.  An  extensive  program  has  been  carried 
out  for  the  last  few  years  in  the  production  of  films  and  in  dissemina- 
tion of  literature  on  the  education  of  the  blind  and  visually  impaired 
and  the  deaf-blind. 

Leadership — To  assist  the  staff  to  develop  further  their  capabilities,  atti- 
tudes, and  levels  of  satisfaction  so  as  to  promote  the  effectiveness  of 
their  performance  in  their  many  roles  in  the  school.  The  school  pro- 
vides funds  and,  when  necessary,  released  time  to  teachers  to  attend 
seminars  and  courses  in  their  specialties.  Perkins  seeks  to  keep 
abreast  of  relevant  research  in  both  general  and  special  education. 

Research — To  provide  a  setting  for  the  continuous  exploration  of  prob- 
lems associated  with  visual  impairment,  such  setting  to  be  used  by 
school  staff  and  other  qualified  investigators.  The  intent  of  such  ex- 
ploration would  be  discovering  new  knowledge,  new  approaches, 


68  147th  Annual  Report 

new  materials,  and  of  perfecting  existing  methods  and  materials  to 
enhance  the  community  effort  in  behalf  of  blind  and  visually  im- 
paired children.  The  school  has  a  Research  Library  which  is  believed 
to  be  the  largest  in  existence  dealing  with  the  education  of  the  blind 
and  visually  impaired. 
Participation — To  contribute  as  an  integral  member  agency  to  the  com- 
munity welfare.

Finance 


Treasurer's  Report 

The  report  of  the  Treasurer  for  the  year  ended  August  31,  1978  is 
submitted  herewith.  The  accounts  of  the  Corporation  were  audited  by 
Coopers  &  Lybrand,  and  their  report  is  attached. 

Income  from  tuition  and  board  was  $2,555,945,  an  increase  of  $54,- 
409  over  last  year,  while  investment  income  of  $1,558,359  was  $140,007 
higher  than  the  previous  year.  The  year  was  one  of  rising  interest  rates 
coupled  with  increases  in  dividends,  so  that  it  is  quite  unlikely  that  our 
investment  income  will  show  any  such  increase  in  the  current  year. 
Operating  expenses  of  $5,729,107  were  only  $55,537  higher  than  the  pre- 
vious year.  Higher  salaries  for  our  staff  showed  a  total  increase  of  $100,- 
324,  but  this  year  very  creditable  controls  by  the  school  Management  in 
other  expenses  showed  a  decrease  of  $44,787,  from  those  of  last  year.  Ex- 
penses for  the  year  exceeded  income  by  $601,204.  This  amount  was 
charged  $486,202  to  Unrestricted  Invested  Funds  and  $115,002  to  the 
principal  of  the  Deaf-Blind  Fund.  In  the  prior  year,  the  comparable  total 
deficit  was  $687,315. 

The  Howe  Press  sales  were  a  little  off  from  the  previous  year  due 
mostly  to  time  lost  during  the  February  blizzard.  We  shipped  8,780 
Braillers  compared  to  9,138  last  year.  Sales  of  the  Perkins  Brailler  were 
$1,378,044,  a  decrease  of  $43,000  from  last  year.  Costs  were  down  some- 
what also,  resulting  in  a  net  operating  income  of  $38,902.  Income  from  its 
endowment  was  $8,616  so  that  the  Press  had  an  excess  of  income  over 
expenses  of  $47,518  for  the  year.

To  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind: 

We  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  as  of 
August  31,  1978,  the  related  condensed  statement  of  current  funds  expenditures 
and  resources  used  to  meet  expenditures,  statement  of  income  and  expense  of 
The  Howe  Press  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  and  summary  of  changes  in 
fund  balances  for  the  year  then  ended.  Our  examination  was  made  in  accord- 
ance with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  and,  accordingly,  included 
such  tests  of  the  accounting  records  and  such  other  auditing  procedures  as  we 
considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We  previously  examined  and  re- 
ported upon  the  1977  financial  statements  of  the  School  which  are  included  in 
condensed  form  for  comparative  purposes  only. 

When  legacies  received  are  unrestricted  as  to  principal,  the  School  does 
not  consider  them  as  current  funds  resources  but  adds  them  directly  to  funds 
functioning  as  endowments  as  reflected  in  the  statement  of  changes  in  fund 
balances. 

In  our  opinion,  except  that  legacies  unrestricted  as  to  principal  have  not 
been  reflected  as  current  funds  resources,  the  aforementioned  financial  state- 
ments present  fairly  the  financial  position  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  at 
August  31,  1978,  its  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  used  to  meet  ex- 
penditures, the  income  and  expense  of  The  Howe  Press  of  Perkins  School  for 
the  Blind  and  the  changes  in  its  fund  balances  for  the  year  then  ended  in  con- 
formity with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  applied  on  a  consistent 
basis. 

The  financial  statements  referred  to  in  the  foregoing  opinion  are  set  forth 
on  pages  72  to  79,  inclusive,  of  this  report.  Our  examination  was  made  pri- 
marily for  the  purpose  of  rendering  an  opinion  on  these  basic  financial  state- 
ments, taken  as  a  whole.  The  other  data  included  in  this  report  on  pages  80  to 
88,  although  not  considered  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of  financial  posi- 
tion, current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  and  changes  in  fund  balances, 
are  presented  primarily  for  supplemental  analysis  purposes.  This  additional  in- 
formation has  been  subjected  to  the  audit  procedures  applied  in  the  examina- 
tion of  the  basic  financial  statements  and,  in  our  opinion,  is  fairly  stated  in  all 
material  respects  in  relation  to  the  basic  financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.

78  147th  Annual  Report 

NOTES  TO  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS 

A.  Significant  Accounting  Policies: 

1 .  In  order  to  ensure  observance  of  limitations  and  restrictions  placed  on  the  use 
of  the  resources  available  to  the  School,  the  accounts  of  the  School  are  main- 
tained in  accordance  with  the  principles  of  "fund  accounting."  This  is  the 
procedure  by  which  resources  for  various  purposes  are  classified  into  funds 
that  are  in  accordance  with  activities  or  objectives  specified.  The  condensed 
statement  of  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  used  to  meet  expendi- 
tures is  a  statement  of  financial  activities  of  current  funds  related  to  the  cur- 
rent reporting  periods.  It  does  not  purport  to  present  the  results  of  operations 
or  the  net  income  or  loss  for  the  period  as  would  a  statement  of  income  or  a 
statement  of  revenues  and  expenses. 

2.  Investments  are  reported  at  their  fair  market  value.  These  assets,  except  for 
special  investments  of  restricted  endowments,  are  pooled  for  investment  pur- 
poses. Income  earned  on  pooled  investments  is  allocated  to  the  participating 
funds  by  the  unit  share  method  (based  on  market  values). 

3.  A  provision  of  $144,000  has  been  charged  to  the  current  funds  and  accumu- 
lated in  the  reserve  for  maintenance  and  replacements  fund.  Significant 
maintenance  costs  are  applied  against  this  reserve. 

4.  Depreciation  expense  relating  to  the  building  improvements,  machinery  and 
equipment  of  The  Howe  Press  is  computed  on  the  straight-line  basis  using  the 
following  useful  lives: 

Automobiles  5  years 

Building  improvements  40  years 

Machinery  and  equipment  10  years 

5.  Under  a  group  annuity  contract  administered  by  the  Equitable  Life  As- 
surance Society  of  the  United  States,  the  School  makes  contributions  toward 
the  purchase  of  annuities  for  its  employees.  The  total  assets  of  the  plan 
($3,378,908),  as  of  September  1,  1977,  the  most  recent  valuation  date,  exceeds 
the  total  value  of  the  vested  accrued  annuities  ($3,050,125).  Total  cost  of  the 
contract  as  amended  effective  September  1,  1976  and  supplemental  payments 
charged  to  expenditures  amounted  to  $301,526  in  1978  and  $304,349  in  1977. 

B.  Investments: 

At  August  31,  1978,  investments  were  as  follows:

$1,598,305        $605,936  $378,360 

C.  Federal  Grants: 

The  School  acts  as  the  Coordinator  for  the  New  England  Regional  Center  for 
Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Children.  As  such,  it  receives  funds  from  federal  grants  to 
support  programs  carried  out  by  Perkins  School  as  well  as  by  other  participating 
agencies.  Federal  grants  received  include  all  funds  for  the  Regional  Center;  fed-

THE   PERKINS   ENDOWMENT 

The  Perkins  Program  as  it  has  developed  and  been  maintained  for  our 
one  hundred  and  forty  eight  years  has  relied  upon  a  growing  endow- 
ment at  every  step  along  the  way. 

It  has  been  of  particular  value  in  times  of  economic  uncertainty  like 
the  present  when  public  agencies  are  forced  to  economize  and  look  to 
private  agencies  to  carry  a  maximum  share  of  the  cost  of  their  services. 

The  needs  of  the  handicapped  take  no  note  of  these  fluctuations  in 
the  economy,  or  changes  in  social  attitudes.  Consequently  they  must  be 
met,  year  in  and  year  out,  regardless  of  cost. 

All  the  facilities  we  possess  have  grown  from  small  beginnings.  Our 
activity  is  full  of  "firsts" — first  success  with  deaf-blind;  first  blind  gradu- 
ate to  college;  first  kindergarten;  first  teacher  training  courses,  both  for 
teachers  of  the  blind  and  teachers  of  the  deaf-blind;  first  in  physical  ther- 
apy and  speech  correction;  and  first  in  parent  counseling  for  blind  boys 
and  girls. 

And  we  continue  to  grow  with  the  development  and  expansion  of  re- 
ality based  programs  to  meet  the  needs  of  our  multi-impaired  students 
and  young  adults. 

One  asset  has  made  innovative  programming  possible.  This  is  our 
endowment. 

Every  new  departure  in  education  requires  money  that  has  not  been 
assigned  to  other  purposes.  Usually  it  is  a  small  sum  to  get  a  new  plan 
into  operation.  As  we  look  back  over  our  records  we  can  see  how  little  it 
took  Dr.  Howe  to  teach  Laura  Bridgman.  The  first  of  our  kindergarten 
cottages  in  Jamaica  Plain  cost  Michael  Anagnos  a  relatively  small  sum. 
Dr.  Allen  began  to  train  teachers  at  virtually  no  cost  to  the  school  at  all. 

So  it  has  been  with  each  forward  step.  On  each  occasion  the  extra- 
budgetary  funds  were  available.  No  appropriations  committee  had  to  be 
persuaded  that  what  was  considered  good  enough  for  their  generation 
was  not  good  enough  for  the  next.  Our  Trustees,  who  since  our  founding 
have  invariably  welcomed  the  next  step  forward,  put  things  into  motion 
each  time. 

None  of  these  programs  has  remained  small.  Our  psychological  ser- 
vices have  expanded  many  times  as  have  other  areas  such  as  industrial 
education,  orientation  and  mobility,  career  education,  the  Rehabilitation, 
and  Deaf-Blind  Programs. 

Endowments  which  are  adequate  to  put  a  program  into  effect  are 
rarely  sufficient  to  keep  it  going.  As  with  every  private  school  and  college 
that  is  keeping  abreast — or  ahead — of  the  times,  Perkins  needs  to  see  its 
endowment  grow.  Through  bequests  and  donations,  and  through  a  few 
Government  grants,  we  have  been  able  to  expand  existing  services  and 
add  new  ones  as  needed.  We  are  confident  that  our  friends  will  continue 
to  support  us  in  ever  increasing  amounts.

Report  of  the  Director 


The  past  year  at  Perkins,  from  an  administrative  point  of  view,  is  best 
described  as  a  time  of  continued  reflection  upon  Perkins'  past  accom- 
plishments and  continued  development  of  patterns  for  the  present  and  the 
future.  We  shored  up  old  foundations,  built  new  ones  and  blueprinted 
others,  while  redeploying  resources  to  better  meet  future  needs. 

The  safe  and  sensible  things  that  can  be  done  to  be  ready  for  an 
ever-changing  future  are  to  build  flexible  program  structures  and  develop  a 
fully  certified,  versatile  and  resilient  staff.  This  is  what  we  are  doing.  If 
any  head  administrator  is  to  succeed,  he  can  best  do  so  by  surrounding 
himself  with  highly  competent  people.  I  am  surrounded! 

Program  Trends 

The  unit  concept  now  employed  in  all  instructional  programs  is  a 
program  structure  that  puts  major  responsibilities  in  the  hands  of  program 
supervisors.  Staff  working  with  students  or  clients  work  as  a  part  of  a  team 
with  the  program  supervisor  being  the  major  team  leader.  In  contrast  with 


6  148th  Annual  Report 

the  past,  very  little  is  offered  in  isolation — not  industrial  education, 
mathematics,  mobility,  techniques  of  daily  living  or  counseling — to  mention 
a  few  areas  of  programming. 

Perkins  has  always  had  an  interest  in  very  young  blind  children.  We 
reaffirm  that  interest  with  newly  established  intensive  programming  for  the 
children  from  birth  through  three  years  of  age. 

Perkins  is  destined  to  continue  to  be  a  resource  which  serves  persons 
with  visual  impairments  and  blindness,  but  there  are  two  notable  changes. 
The  first  change  is  a  commitment  to  serve  more  students  and  clients  with 
extreme  learning  problems;  the  second  is  to  respond  to  the  needs  for 
increased  services  to  those  beyond  the  traditional  high  school  age. 

Perkins  now  has  six  major  education  and  training  programs.  They  are: 

1.  Preschool  Program 

2.  Primary  and  Intermediate  Program 

3.  Junior/ Senior  High  Program 

4.  Deaf-Blind  Program 

5.  Special  Programs 

6.  Adult  Services  Program 

A  seventh  program  is  being  contemplated.  It  would  be  another  special 
program  for  younger  children. 

During  the  1978-79  school  year,  much  discussion  and  study  took  place 
regarding  a  possible  merger  of  Perkins  and  another  agency  for  blind  children 
in  the  Boston  area.  It  was  hoped  that  these  deliberations  would  lead  to  a 
merger  where  the  strengths  of  the  other  agency  would  be  added  to  those  of 
Perkins.  This  did  not  happen,  and  such  discussions  are  now  inactive; 
although  neither  agency  has  closed  its  door  on  the  subject. 

Annual  reports  submitted  to  the  director  by  program  supervisors  show 
the  substantial  amount  of  energy  that  each  program  puts  forth  and  the 
accomplishments  achieved. 

All  of  the  education  programs  are  supervised  by  the  coordinator  of 
instructional  programs  who  also  serves  as  the  assistant  director.  An  array  of 
coordinated  services  support  the  education  programs.  These  are:  transporta- 
tion, grant  development,  safety  and  security,  licensing  and  accreditation, 
instructional  materials,  volunteers,  space  assigment,  scheduling,  special  pro- 
jects and  curriculum  development. 

Coordinated  clinical  services  are  also  viewed  as  an  extensive  array  of 
services  aimed  at  supporting  the  instructional  program.  Clinical  services 
include:  psychology,  counseling,  psychiatric,  physical  and  occupational  ther- 
apy, audiology,  educational  assessment,  medicine  and  dentistry.  Perkins  has 
a  unique  interdisciplinary,  diagnostic  and  evaluation  service  that  is  capable 
of  assessing  the  strengths  and  needs  of  the  visually  impaired,  blind,  deaf- 
blind  and  multi-impaired  children  and  adults. 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  7 

Perkins'  Preschool  Program  is  geared  to  offering  consultant  services  to 
other  infant/ toddler  programs  for  the  sensory  impaired.  It  is  lodged  in  an 
on-campus  three-bedroom  family  residence. 

The  Lower  School  Program  is  also  undergoing  change.  It  has  been 
redesignated  the  Primary  and  Intermediate  Program.  It  also  includes  pre- 
school age,  and  the  current  enrollment  of  40  pupils  encompasses  an  age  span 
of  five  to  fifteen  years.  Increased  emphasis  is  placed  on  individualizing 
programs  through  prescriptive  teaching.  The  related  cottage  program  is  a 
reinforcer  of  concepts  learned  in  the  classroom,  and  the  classroom 
reciprocates. 

The  Junior/  Senior  High  Program  has  evolved  out  of  the  Upper  School 
Program  with  an  enrollment  similar  to  the  Primary  and  Intermediate  Pro- 
gram. It  is  also  a  program  in  transition.  Students  are  offered  the  traditional 
academic  subjects  appropriate  for  their  ability  and  needs;  however,  there  is 
increased  emphasis  on  home  and  personal  management,  prevocational  skills 
and  vocational  exploration  and  community  experiences.  Many  options  are 
open  for  the  students.  These  include  part-time  placement  in  community 
schools,  recreational  and  social  opportunities  in  community  settings  and 
part-time  employment  while  attending  school. 

Special  Programs  as  a  program  title  doesn't  tell  us  very  much.  There- 
fore, I  am  including  the  following  paragraph  from  the  annual  report  of  the 
Special  Programs  supervisor  to  the  director: 
"Three  types  of  educational/ prevocational  programs  are  offered,  and 
students  are  enrolled  in  these  programs  according  to  their  capabilities  and 
interests.  The  most  basic  program  emphasizes  communication  skills, 
mathematic  concepts,  daily  living  skills,  social  skills,  and  prevocational 
training.  The  second  program,  for  more  advanced  students,  emphasizes 
prevocational  training  and  training  for  semi-independent  or  independent 
living.  The  academic  classes  emphasize  the  use  of  skills  and  community, 
resources.  Typing,  speaking  and  writing  for  communication  purposes, 
reading  for  information  and  leisure,  budgeting  and  banking  are  empha- 
sized. Students  in  this  program  area  spend  about  half  their  time  in  prevo- 
cational training,  and  many  are  placed  in  part-time  jobs  on  or  off  campus 
during  their  final  years  in  the  program.  The  third  program  is  a  modified 
high  school  program  and  leads  to  a  diploma.  Required  subjects  include 
English,  mathematics,  history,  civics,  general  science  and  career  educa- 
tion. Although  students  in  this  area  spend  less  time  in  Special  Programs, 
most  devote  about  one-third  of  their  time  to  prevocational  exploration 
and  preparation." 

This  is  a  program  committed  to  creativity  and  innovation  as  a  way  of 
remaining  relevant  in  a  time  when  predicting  the  future  is  difficult. 

A  significant  number  of  child  care  staff,  mostly  assigned  to  work  with 


8  148th  Annual  Report 

deaf-blind  children,  provide  a  great  many  hours  of  direct  intervention  and 
extra  assistance  to  this  group  of  students.  In  this  way,  the  students  receive 
extra  help  for  medical,  orthopedic,  behavioral,  daily  living  skills,  communi- 
cation and  language  learning  reasons. 

The  curriculum  for  the  Deaf-Blind  Program  includes,  but  is  not  limited 
to,  the  development  of  self-help  skills,  social  skills,  language  and  communi- 
cation skills,  cognitive  ability,  sensory  perception,  motor  skills,  academics 
and  prevocational  skills.  A  staff  of  41  programs  for  and  works  with  the 
enrolled  deaf-blind  population  of  65.  The  unique  features  of  the  program  are 
the  variety  of  program  options,  special  diagnostic  and  evaluation  services, 
specially  designed  curriculum  and  prevocational  assessment  and  training. 

At  the  upper  end  of  the  age  continuum,  we  find  our  Adult  Services 
Program,  formerly  referred  to  as  the  Rehabilitation  Program.  Clients  range 
in  age  from  18  to  37  and  include  adventitiously  blind  as  well  as  congenitally 
blind.  The  primary  sources  of  referral  are  state  vocational  rehabilitation, 
mental  health  and  local  education  agencies.  Most  of  the  programming  is 
short-term  and  intense. 

The  adult  program  is  extremely  flexible  with  individual  programs  to 
develop  a  wide  range  of  skills  designed  to  help  send. the  clients,  upon 
completion,  into  competitive  employment,  workshops,  day  activity  centers 
and  independent  or  semi-independent  living  situations. 

Ancillary  Services 

Perkins  library  services,  school,  regional  and  research,  continue  to  be 
widely  used  and  provide  excellent  service.  Traditionally,  the  Regional 
Library  has  been  understaffed  and  housed  in  limited  space.  A  study  is 
planned  that  will  propose  new  quarters  for  this  well-used  service. 

Joseph  P.  Lash,  a  Pulitzer  Prize  winning  author,  was  among  those  who 
used  the  Research  Library  during  the  year.  Mr.  Lash  is  writing  a  biography 
of  Helen  Keller. 

The  Howe  Press  reports  an  annual  production  of  8685  Perkins  Braillers 
and  continues  to  have  nearly  5000  back  orders.  The  number  of  units  sold 
since  1950  is  now  over  125,000.  Seventy-four  persons  are  involved  in  the 
production  and  sale  of  Howe  Press  products. 

The  New  England  Regional  Center  for  Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Children, 
for  which  Perkins  continues  to  be  the  sponsoring  agency,  administered  one 
million  federally  provided  dollars  to  supplement  educational  services  offered 
by  various  New  England  agencies  for  deaf-blind  children.  In  the  six-state 
region,  250  children  benefited  through  programs  in  25  agencies.  The  Center 
sponsors  teacher  and  parent  workshops,  maintains  a  collection  of  materials 
for  lending  and,  in  general,  advocates  for  deaf-blind  students  and  their 
programs.

Changes  For  Progress 

In  this  Perkins  150th  year  as  a  private  non-profit  corporation,  a 
significant  number  of  events  and  activities  took  place.  Most  of  these  are  well 
documented  in  recent  issues  of  The  Lantern.  Perkins  publications  and  films 
received  the  usual  world-wide  use.  Most  of  these  were  distributed  free  of 
charge  or  at  cost. 

A  significant  trustee  action  this  past  year  was  the  establishment  of  a 
Development  Office  which  is  now  in  action.  The  goal  of  this  program  will  be 
to  close  the  gap  between  cost  and  income.  Managing  programs  in  these  times 
of  rising  costs  remains  a  great  challenge.  It's  difficult  to  believe  that  we 
increased  our  budget  for  fuel  oil  $499  per  enrolled  pupil  in  one  year's  time. 

The  significance  of  the  purchase  of  our  own  telephone  system  is  that  we 
are  now  realizing  an  annual  savings  of  over  $  14,000.  Even  greater  savings  will  be 
made  when  we  implement  energy  savings  outlined  in  our  recent  energy  audit. 

Our  entire  physical  plant  is  being  put  under  a  preventive  maintenance 
program  which  will  be  fully  developed  over  the  next  few  years.  The  facilities 
are  being  managed  by  an  architect  employed  by  the  school  in  the  position  of 
facilities  manager,  formerly  maintenance  supervisor. 

A  most  significant  program  undertaken  this  year,  and  to  be  brought  to 
fruition  during  1979-80,  is  a  great  effort  to  make  all  Perkins  facilities 
accessible  to  the  handicapped  and  fully  protected  with  the  latest  fire  and 
safety  alert  system.  This  includes  the  enclosure  of  all  stairways  in  buildings 
where  children  sleep,  and  the  installation  of  new  stairways — a  minimum  of 
one  in  each  of  13  Perkins  cottages.  This  shows  the  continued  recognition  on 
the  part  of  the  trustees  and  administration  for  the  health,  safety  and  well- 
being  of  the  students,  staff  and  others  who  share  our  outstanding  facilities. 

As  we  begin  the  second  half  of  Perkins'  second  century  of  service  we 
accept  the  responsibility  of  programming  for  the  1980's  knowing  that  new 
areas  of  need  will  require  the  creation  of  new  structures  and  new  services.  The 
building  of  foundations  and  the  deploying  of  resources  to  meet  this  need  will 
be  the  challenge. 

A  full  report  on  any  phase  of  the  Perkins  program  will  gladly  be  made 
available  to  anyone  with  a  legitimate  interest  by  writing  to  the  director.

NEW  ENGLAND  REGIONAL  CENTER  FOR 
SERVICES  TO  DEAF-BLIND  CHILDREN,  1979 

A  rubella  epidemic  in  1964-65  and  other  causes,  such  as  Usher's 
Syndrome,  have  resulted  in  the  existence  of  over  5000  children  and 
youths  in  the  United  States  who  either  at  birth  or  later  are  handicapped  by 
combined  visual  and  auditory  impairments.  Traditional  classes  for  blind  or 
for  deaf  children  were  not  attuned  to  educating  students  having  both  condi- 
tions. In  response  to  a  need  for  more  individual,  specialized  attention, 
Congress  amended  the  Elementary  and  Secondary  Education  Act  of  1968  to 
include  Title  VI-C,  which  provides  for  Centers  and  Services  for  Deaf-Blind 
Children.  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind,  as  the  sponsoring  agency  for  the  New 
England  Regional  Center  for  Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Children,  has  general 
contractual  responsibility  with  the  United  States  Office  of  Education, 
Bureau  of  Education  for  the  Handicapped  in  Washington,  D.C. 

Over  25  agencies  across  the  six-state  region  have  deaf-blind  programs 
for  a  total  of  250  children.  Most  agencies  receive  technical  and  supplemental 
financial  support  through  subcontracts  with  the  Regional  Center.  Primary 
educational  funding  arises  from  state,  local  and  other  sources.  Certain  agen- 
cies benefit  from  Regional  Center  teacher  workshops  and  other  training  aids, 
without  direct  subsidy.  The  professional  staff  of  the  Center,  in  addition  to  its 
Coordinator,  includes  an  Educational  Consultant,  an  Administrative  Con- 
sultant and  a  Vocational  and  Educational  Specialist.  They  coordinate  serv- 
ices, develop  teaching  and  administrative  manuals  and  aids,  conduct  work- 
shops, advocate  for  children  and  their  families,  and  monitor  funding 
according  to  federal  guidelines.  Also,  they  seek  diagnosis  and  evaluation 
where  needed,  consult  with  teachers  and  education  officials  who  have  direct 
roles  in  the  lives  of  deaf-blind  children,  evaluate  ongoing  education  pro- 
grams, and  operate  a  resource  center  for  teachers,  students  and  ad- 
ministrators. 

During  the  1978-79  program  year,  the  Regional  Center  administered 
one  million  federally  provided  dollars  to  supplement  education  services  for 
deaf-blind  children  throughout  the  region. 

The  Center  sponsored  teacher  training  workshops  on  expressive  thera- 
pies, movement,  co-active  movement,  classroom  management,  and  motor 
development  and  therapeutic  activities  for  the  severely  impaired.  A  two-day 
parents'  workshop  was  also  provided,  with  the  intention  of  encouraging  the 
role  of  parents  as  case  managers  and  advocates  for  their  handicapped 
children. 

Several  referrals  of  newly-discovered  deaf-blind  children  were  pro- 
cessed for  certifiability.  Appropriate  placements  were  sought  for  them. 

Requests  for  teacher  resource  materials  are  answered  daily,  based  on 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind 


11 


on  a  listing  that  was  circulated  across  the  country.  The  Center  funded  the 
printing  of  the  Perkins  Sign  Language  Curricula  and  the  Daily  Living  Skills 
Curriculum,  and  reprinted  Skill  Tasks:  A  Handbook  of  Prevocational  Activ- 
ities which  originated  in  the  Perkins  Oliver  Cottage  program.  Other  publica- 
tions in  high  demand  are  reprinted  as  needed. 

Two  Regional  Advisory  Committee  meetings  were  held,  to  assist  in 
developing  directions  for  programming  and  to  ensure  participation  of  pro- 
fessionals in  planning  the  Center's  activities  for  the  year.  Additional  meetings 
were  held  in  Washington  and  in  the  New  England  states  to  foster  the  plan- 
ning of  adult  services  for  deaf-blind  youths  and  adults,  who  will  leave  the 
Center's  financial  umbrella  after  age  21. 

Two  issues  of  NEWS  .  .  .  About  Deaf- Blind  Student  Programs  and 
Services  in  New  England  were  published  and  sent  to  600  professionals  and 
parents.  In  addition,  the  Center  printed  and  distributed  three  issues  of  a 
parents'  newsletter  via  direct  mail  and  through  education  agencies. 

A  long-term  objective  of  the  Center  is  to  help  bridge  the  organizational 
and  funding  gap  which  separates  education  (21  and  under)  from  rehabilita- 
tion (over-21)  service  providers.  Recent  amendments  to  the  federal  rehabili- 
tation and  developmental  disabilities  laws  provide  for  coverage  of  more 
severely  handicapped  citizens,  but  old  patterns  and  lack  of  new  federal  funds 
hinder  smooth  progress  in  obtaining  service.  In  the  absence  of  national  or 
state  policies,  such  situations  are  now  solved  "case  by  case,"  which  favors  the 
citizens  with  greater  levels  of  evident  potential  for  "work-like"  success. 

The  first  year  of  a  five-year  extendable  contract  with  the  Bureau  of 
Education  for  the  Handicapped  was  completed  on  June  30,  1979.  A  second 
year  extension  period  has  been  awarded,  to  cover  the  period  through  June 
30,  1980.

14  148th  Annual  Report 

REPORT  OF  THE  PRESIDENT— 1978-1979 

It  is  always  a  pleasure  to  come  to  the  Annual  Meeting  of  the 
Corporation  and  see  this  fine  group  of  Perkins  supporters. 

I  joined  the  board  in  1 971  and  became  president  last  year.  During  that 
period  of  time  I  have  found  that  one  of  the  real  rewards  is  the  close  working 
relationship  among  trustees  and  the  school's  administration  and  staff. 
Another  is  the  increasing  desire  to  better  utilize  the  members  of  the 
corporation  and  to  keep  them  informed  of  the  affairs  of  the  school. 

I  should  have  known  from  my  past  experience  as  a  trustee  and  from 
watching  Mr.  Cabot  function  as  president,  that  my  first  year  in  that 
position  would  be  no  less  involved.  Significant  acts  and  activities  seem  to  be 
the  rule  rather  than  the  exception. 

First,  I  would  like  to  recall  an  item  mentioned  in  Mr.  Cabot's  report  of 
last  year  relating  to  the  need  for  building  alterations.  A  significant  portion  of 
the  work  necessary  to  keep  our  physical  facilities  safe  and  to  make  them 
accessible  to  the  handicapped  was  undertaken  and  completed  during  the 
1978-79  year,  with  the  majority  of  work  being  done  in  the  summer  months. 
Work  is  continuing  on  these  alterations,  which  are  scheduled  for  completion 
before  the  next  annual  meeting. 

During  the  year  we  completed,  a  comprehensive  energy  audit  and  are 
now  faced  with  the  decision  as  to  how  many  of  the  recommended  alterations 
we  should  implement.  Energy  costs  keep  leaping  up  and,  for  the  current  year 
1 979-80,  it  is  necessary  that  we  budget  $499.00  per  enrolled  pupil — projected 
enrollment  to  be  240 — to  meet  increased  costs  over  what  was  spent  in 
1 978-79.  This  expenditure  is  part  of  what  causes  us  to  remain  in  the  position 
first  arrived  at  in  1 972-73,  where  our  income  stopped  equaling  our  expenses, 
and  funds  functioning  as  endowment  were  used  to  meet  these  expenses.  The 
seven  year  record  of  this  spending  pattern  is  as  follows: 


1972-73 

$107,091 

1973-74 

269,076 

1974-75 

279,509 

1975-76 

550,868 

1976-77 

687,315 

1977-78 

601,204 

1978-79 

408,835 

If  you  listened  closely  to  these  figures,  you  may  have  felt  encouraged  by 
the  downward  trend  that  started  two  years  ago  after  a  1976-77  high. 
However,  inflation,  salary  increases,  fuel  oil  cost  and  other  factors  do  not  let 
us  project  this  encouraging  picture  for  1979-80. 

We  have  taken  a  step  this  past  year  that  is  designed  to  aid  us  in 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  15 

recovering  our  1971,  and  prior,  position.  The  trustees,  recognizing  that 
seemingly  generous  sums  of  money  come  our  way  without  much  effort, 
specifically  identified  the  need  for  a  development  program  and  authorized  the 
hiring  of  a  development  director.  This  position  is  now  filled  by  Henry  E  Colt, 
Jr. 

Again  following  through  on  last  year's  report,  I  want  to  mention  the 
discussion  that  took  place  in  the  matter  of  possible  merging  of  service  with 
other  agencies  serving  blind  children — specifically,  the  Boston  Center  for 
Blind  Children.  Perhaps  the  best  way  to  report  this  to  you  is  to  have  the 
director  read  from  his  June  15,  1979  Quarterly  Report  to  the  trustees  as  it 
relates  to  the  efforts  toward  a  merger. 

The  sesquicentennial  date  of  March  2,  1 979  was  properly  observed  with 
the  signing  of  a  proclamation  by  the  governor,  the  later  burying  of  a  time 
capsule  and  other  activities. 

Tuition  rates  for  1979-80  have  been  restructured  to  reflect  six  tuition 
categories  and  more  closely  to  relate  tuition  and  program  costs.  Currently,  as 
in  the  past,  approximately  one-half  of  our  expenses  are  met  by  tuition 
charges. 

Two  vice  presidents  were  elected  at  last  year's  meeting.  They  are  Helen 
Fernald  and  Dudley  Willis.  They  were  given  responsibility  for  two  new 
committees. 

The  Program  Committee:  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  Fernald — to  act 
as  a  sounding  board  for  the  director  and  to  maintain  contact  with 
the  school  to  further  implement  the  board's  philosophy  of 
working  in  conjunction  with  the  administration,  to  enhance  the 
overall  school  and  its  program. 

The  Development  Committee:  under  the  direction  of  Dudley  Willis — 
charged  with  the  responsibility  of  overseeing  fund  raising  and 
investigating  possibilities  of  increasing  Perkins'  income  through 
donations. 

We  now  own  our  own  telephone  system  and  all  of  the  equipment  related 
to  this  computerized  operation.  During  the  first  six  weeks  of  use,  our  charges 
from  New  England  Bell  were  reduced  $  1 ,600,  or  an  annual  projected  savings 
of  nearly  $14,000. 

Our  employees  now  have  available  the  services  of  the  Boston  University 
Credit  Union  by  special  efforts  of  the  trustees. 

We  have  a  new  maintenance  supervisor,  Tom  H.  Lewis,  who  replaced 
Claude  Maclntyre  upon  his  retirement.  Mr.  Lewis  is  an  architect  by  training 
and  will  work  under  the  new  title,  Facilities  Manager. 

This  report  is  intended  to  cover  only  some  of  the  highlights  of  the  year. 
Along  with  the  Director's  Report,  it  should  give  a  good  insight  into  some  of 
our  most  significant  activities. 


16  148th  Annual  Report 

We  regret  to  announce  the  death  of  Mrs.  Etta  MacPhie  of  West 
Newton,  Massachusetts,  a  long-time  member  of  the  corporation. 

We  also  regret  to  announce  the  death  of  Mrs.  Rosanna  Leviseur,  a 
former  trustee.  Mrs.  Leviseur  made  her  first  contact  with  Perkins  during 
World  War  I,  at  which  time  her  father,  Albert  Thorndike,  was  appointed 
Treasurer,  an  office  he  held  until  1935.  Mrs.  Leviseur  (Rosanna  Thorndike) 
came  to  Perkins  to  learn  handcrafts  which  she  proceeded  to  teach  blinded 
veterans  in  France. 

In  1933  she  was  appointed  a  trustee,  a  position  she  relinquished  to 
repeat  her  work  in  France  during  World  War  II,  a  service  which  led  to  her 
imprisonment  in  Germany.  In  1948  she  was  reappointed  a  trustee  and 
became  a  member  of  the  Executive  Committee  shortly  afterwards.  Her  ex- 
tensive knowledge  of  many  agencies  serving  the  blind,  combined  with  her 
keen  interest  in  all  phases  of  the  Perkins  program  made  her  an  invaluable 
trustee. 

One  June  12,  1979  a  citation  was  presented  to  Mrs.  Leviseur  on  the 
occasion  of  her  completing  30  years  of  service  on  the  Board  of  Trustees  and 
20  years  on  the  Executive  Committee. 

Upon  her  retirement  from  the  board,  Mrs.  Leviseur  was  made  an 
Honorary  Trustee  and  continued  to  take  an  active  interest  in  the  affairs  of  the 
school  until  her  death.  She  will  be  sorely  missed. 

This  report  is  respectfully  submitted  not  only  as  one  of  my  responsibilities 
as  president,  but  as  a  way  of  relating  the  fine  work  of  all  those  who  have 
assisted  in  our  1978-79  endeavors. 

Sincerely, 

C.  Richard  Carlson

CLASS  OF  1979 

MICHAEL  ABBOTT 

Michael  was  born  in  West  Harbor,  Maine  in  1958.  He  began  his  studies 
at  Perkins  in  1969. 

During  his  years  here  Michael  has  been  involved  in  numerous 
extracurricular  activities.  Scouting  was  one  of  Mike's  strong  interests  and  he 
achieved  the  rank  of  Star  Scout  and  Patrol  Leader.  He  has  been  a  member  of 
the  Drama  Club  and  has  appeared  in  productions  of  "Kismet"  and 
"Carousel."  He  appeared  as  "Kelsy,"  the  bartender,  in  the  class  production  of 
"All  in  the  Family."  In  the  area  of  sports,  Michael  has  been  involved  as  a 
participant  and  an  avid  spectator.  He  was  a  wrestler  for  his  first  three  years  in 
high  school.  Michael  played  baseball  for  four  years  and  received  an  award  in 
his  junior  year.  He  has  closely  followed  most  of  Boston's  major  league  teams 
and  will  be  missed  as  the  resident  sports  authority.  Mike  has  been  very  much 
involved  in  student  government.  He  has  served  as  cottage  representative  and 
was  elected  President  of  the  Student  Council  in  his  senior  year.  He  received 
recognition  from  the  senior  class  by  being  elected  to  the  offices  of  Vice- 
President,  Secretary  and  Treasurer. 

Michael  has  been  involved  in  the  Work  Activities  and  the  Retail 
Management  and  Sales  programs.  He  is  interested  in  vending  and  assembly 
types  of  work  and  hopes  to  find  a  job  in  one  of  these  areas.  His  goals  are  to 
live  as  independently  as  possible  as  a  member  of  a  small  group.  He  hopes  to 
apply  some  of  the  ideas  and  skills  he  has  acquired  at  Perkins  to  future 
involvement  in  his  community  and  to  becoming  a  good  citizen. 

Michael  has  a  winning  sense  of  humor.  He  also  has  a  serious  side  and  is 
able  to  see  both  sides  of  an  issue. 

We  wish  him  the  best  with  his  future  plans. 

ENID  BEAUCHAMPS 

Enid  came  to  Perkins  in  1 974  from  New  Jersey.  She  will  be  a  member  of 
the  first  graduating  class  from  Special  Programs.  While  at  Perkins,  she  has 
participated  in  numerous  independent  living  experiences  culminating  in  her 
inclusion  in  the  Keller-Sullivan  Live-In  Program  during  her  entire  senior 
year. 

Enid  is  interested  in  baby  sitting,  camps,  swimming,  and  bowling  and 
has  been  involved  in  all  of  these  during  her  time  at  Perkins. 

She  is  very  interested  in  crafts  and  has  completed  numerous  outstanding 
projects.  Enid  intends  to  continue  this  hobby. 

Enid  appreciates  the  beauty  of  nature.  She  enjoys  the  serenity  of  a  view, 


38  148th  Annual  Report 

birds,  and  flowers.  She  is  also  known  for  her  candor  and  her  knack  for  giving 
practical  advice. 

Her  goals  include  living  independently  and  traveling  to  work.  She  is 
interested  in  office  work  and  hopes  to  secure  employment  in  this  area. 

Enid  is  interested  in  sharing  her  life  with  people  and  hopes  to  do  this 
through  involvement  in  her  church  group. 

We  wish  her  well  in  all  of  her  endeavors. 

EVAN  DEAN 

Evan  was  born  in  1958  in  Camden,  Maine.  He  began  his  education  in 
the  Elm  Street  School  and  came  to  Perkins  in  the  fourth  grade. 

In  high  school  Evan  has  been  enrolled  in  the  general  course  program. 
His  interest  has  been  in  the  area  of  industrial  education.  He  likes  to  work 
with  his  hands,  especially  in  wood  and  in  crafts.  He  is  particularly  proud  of  a 
handmade  wooden  table.  Evan  has  also  been  heavily  involved  with  the  work 
activities  program,  a  vocational  training  program  which  has  provided  him 
with  a  little  spending  money. 

Evan  knows  how  to  use  his  leisure  time.  He  not  only  collects  coins,  but 
he  is  also  a  collector  of  seashells.  Evan  enjoys  working  in  the  garden,  growing 
both  flowers  and  vegetables,  and  next  year  he  hopes  to  have  the  opportunity 
to  devote  more  time  to  this  interest.  His  musical  tastes  run  to  rock  and 
country  and  western.  He  is  a  loyal  Red  Sox  fan  and  listens  to  the  games 
faithfully. 

There  are,  Evan  tells  us,  several  possibilities  for  future  endeavor.  He  will 
continue  helping  his  mother  send  out  information  on  the  windjammer 
cruises  originating  in  Camden.  Other  jobs  which  he  plans  to  investigate  are 
collating  pages  for  an  area  magazine  and  working  for  Light  Line,  a  company 
selling  light  bulbs.  Evan  may  also  realize  some  income  producing  leather 
products. 

Evan  has  our  best  wishes  as  he  goes  forth  to  a  new  beginning. 

JOSEPH  KREGER 

Joe  hails  from  Hawthorne,  New  Jersey.  He  arrived  at  Perkins  in  1975 
and  enrolled  as  a  student  in  Special  Programs. 

Joe  is  a  very  active  young  man  and  enjoys  basketball,  baseball,  track 
and  skiing.  He  won  recognition  during  his  junior  year  for  his  track  perform- 
ance and  was  awarded  medals  in  basketball  and  in  skiing.  Joe  became  a 
member  of  the  Explorer  Scouts  and  participated  in  many  camping  trips.  He 
plans  to  continue  this  type  of  activity. 

Joe  has  been  a  member  of  the  Perkins  Chorus  and  has  sung  with  the 
Chamber  Singers.  He  participated  in  three  voice  recitals.  Joe's  artistic  talent 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  39 

is  not  limited  to  music.  He  also  appeared  as  "Michael"  in  the  1977  production 
of  "All  in  the  Family." 

Joe  has  a  trememdous  enthusiasm  for  reading  and  approaches  it  with  a 
good  deal  of  insight.  He  is  a  young  man  with  a  variety  of  interests. 

His  goals  are'  to  travel  independently  and  to  live  independently.  He 
plans  to  live  in  New  Jersey  and  to  seek  an  assembly  job  in  a  factory  there. 

Joe's  personal  goal  is  to  be  open  minded,  accepting,  and  tolerant  of 
other  people's  differences. 

He  is  happy  to  be  a  member  of  the  first  graduating  class  of  the  Special 
High  School  Program. 

We  will  miss  him,  and  we  wish  him  the  best  in  his  pursuits. 

SHARLENE  MORRIS 

Sharlene  entered  Perkins  in  February,  1976.  Before  coming  here  she 
attended  both  public  and  private  schools  in  the  Washington,  D.C.  area 
where  she  was  born  in  1958. 

Since  coming  to  Perkins  Sharlene  has  maintained  good  grades.  She  also 
has  become  involved  in  almost  every  aspect  of  school  life:  athletics,  recrea- 
tion, and  student  affairs. 

In  athletics  she  has  been  a  member  of  the  track  team,  winning  four  first 
places  in  local  meets  last  year,  and  was  cheerleading  captain  for  two  years. 

Her  musical  credits  include  being  a  member  of  the  chorus  and  the 
Chamber  Singers.  She  has  performed  in  piano  and  voice  recitals,  Christmas 
and  Spring  concerts.  Especially  memorable  for  Sharlene  was  her  performance 
in  "Carousel,"  the  "Bicentennial  Show,"  and  "Night  of  January  16th." 

Sharlene  served  two  years  as  a  member  of  the  Student  Council,  one  year 
as  cottage  captain,  and  was  a  member  of  the  newly  formed  recreation 
committee. 

Vocationally,  Sharlene  has  exhibited  an  interest  in  office  work — 
collating,  operating  various  duplicating  processes,  and  labeling.  Her  skill  led 
to  her  first  position,  working  for  the  National  Braille  Press  in  Boston.  She 
begins  her  new  job  on  June  18. 

Other  interests  include:  crocheting,  latch  hooking  and  weaving,  horse- 
back riding,  acting,  skiing,  bowling,  and  shopping. 

The  next  challenge  for  Sharlene  is  apartment  hunting.  After  that,  all  the 
other  challenges  that  go  with  independent  living.  With  her  charm,  her  grace, 
her  sense  of  responsibility,  and  her  wish  to  succeed,  we  know  she  can't  miss. 
We  wish  her  Godspeed. 

ROBERT  NEVILLE 

Bob  came  to  Perkins  in  September,  1976,  joining  the  sophomore  class. 
He  took  the  usual  academic  program  with  a  heavy  emphasis  on  industrial 


40  148th  Annual  Report 

education.  Previously  Bob  had  attended  both  public  and  private  schools. 
Now  a  resident  of  Rhode  Island,  he  was  born  in  1957  in  Massachusetts. 

Early  in  school  Bob  established  his  natural  abilities  in  athletics.  He  has 
had  three  years'  experience  on  the  wrestling  team,  making  the  varsity  squad 
from  the  outset.  For  his  work  on  the  track  team  he  earned  a  Perkins  jacket 
the  first  year.  For  his  overall  sports  achievements  he  has  managed  to  earn  the 
"Flying  P"  and  other  letters. 

Bob  enjoys  music  and  has  helped  the  chorus  for  the  past  two  years 
playing  the  drums  in  the  Christmas  programs. 

Bob  has  done  excellent  work  in  chair  caning,  woodworking,  and  metals. 
For  many  years  he  has  enjoyed  macrame  and  his  work  is  of  such  high  quality 
that  he  has  been  kept  busy  with  back  orders.  His  Thursday  evenings  this  year 
were  given  over  to  teaching  macrame  to  interested  students  and  staff. 

Bob  represented  Moulton  College  on  Student  Council,  has  been  a 
member  of  P.  A.  A.,  and  for  the  past  two  years  has  served  as  president  of  his 
class. 

He  has  worked  not  only  in  the  student  lounge,  but  has  also  worked 
at  a  stand  in  the  Boston  Post  Office,  a  very  busy  place. 

Bob's  future  plans  are  not  set,  but  he  may  go  into  a  vending  stand 
program;  take  further  training  in  woodworking;  or,  with  luck,  get  a  job  in 
that  field  immediately. 

Students  will  remember  Bob  for  his  help  in  leisure  time  activities,  his 
sportsmanship,  and  his  good  fellowship.  We  wish  him  good  fortune  in 
whatever  endeavor  he  may  undertake.

As  a  member  of  the  Perkins  Chorus  Carole  has  participated  in  a  voice 
recital  and  in  Christmas  and  Spring  concerts.  She  will  be  remembered  for  her

Carole's  goals  are  to  seek  employment  in  the  vending  area  and  to  live  as 
independently  as  possible.  We  wish  her  the  best  in  all  her  pursuits.

Dr.  John  D.  Fisher 


PERKINS  SCHOOL  FOR  THE   BUND: 
A   BRIEF   HISTORY 

The  first  school  for  blind  children  anywhere  opened  its  doors  in  Paris 
in  1784  and  was  soon  followed  by  schools  in  England  and  other  Eu- 
ropean countries.  The  United  States,  which  had  only  been  in  independent 
existence  a  few  years,  took  longer  to  follow  suit,  but  by  the  1830's  the 
young  country  was  ready  and  schools  opened  their  doors  almost  simul- 
taneously in  1831  in  Boston,  New  York  City  and  Philadelphia.  These 
three  schools  still  exist  as  private  institutions  and  each  in  its  own  way  has 
provided  strong  leadership  for  almost  a  century  and  a  half. 

While  no  one  person  can  be  said  to  have  been  the  sole  Founder  of 
Perkins,  the  first  man  known  to  have  recognized  the  need  for  a  school  for 
blind  children  in  New  England  was  Dr.  John  D.  Fisher  who,  as  a  medical 
student  in  Paris,  had  visited  LTnstitution  National  des  Jeunes  Aveugles 
(The  National  Institution  for  Blind  Youth).  This  was,  and  is,  the  parent 
of  all  schools  for  the  blind  on  earth.  It  was  founded  in  1784,  five  years 
before  the  outbreak  of  the  French  Revolution,  by  Valentin  Hauy,  the  pio- 
neer in  whose  footsteps  walk  all  those  who  teach  blind  girls  and  boys. 

In  1826  Dr.  Fisher  returned  to  his  native  Boston  to  become  a  medical 
practitioner.  He  shared  his  thoughts  about  educating  blind  children  with 
a  small  group  of  his  friends  who  met  on  an  icy  day  in  February  1 829  at 
the  Exchange  Coffee  House.  He  aroused  their  interest  and  they  immedi- 
ately applied  to  the  Massachusetts  Legislature  for  a  Charter.  On  March  2, 
1829  the  New  England  Asylum  for  the  Blind  was  incorporated  "to  edu- 
cate sightless  persons." 

The  Charter  named  thirty-nine  prominent  Bostonians  as  Incorpora- 
tors. These  are  indeed  historically  the  Founding  Fathers.  Among  them 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  51 

was  John  Fisher  himself  and  the  blind  historian,  William  H.  Prescott. 
Also  included  was  a  wealthy  merchant,  Thomas  Handasyd  Perkins, 
whose  name  the  school  was  soon  to  bear.  Included  also  were  members  of 
two  Boston  families  who  have  provided  the  school  with  a  succession  of 
Trustees.  These  were  Thorndike  and  Lowell. 

In  1 830  the  Corporation  elected  its  first  officers  and  twelve  Trustees, 
one  of  whom  was  Horace  Mann.  Their  first  task  was  to  find  a  man  who 
would  set  their  ideas  to  work. 

Meanwhile  another  Boston  physician,  Samuel  Gridley  Howe,  had 
come  home  from  fighting  and  doctoring  in  the  Greek  War  of  Indepen- 
dence. On  Boylston  Street  one  day  Howe  met  by  chance  with  Fisher  and 
some  of  his  fellow  Trustees.  "Here  is  Howe!  The  very  man  we  have  been 
looking  for  all  the  time!"  said  Fisher.  The  response  was  immediate:  A 
"meeting  of  flint  with  steel,"  as  Howe's  daughter  Laura  described  it  some 
years  later. 

Without  realizing  it,  the  Founding  Fathers  had  made  an  historic 
decision. 

The  Howe  Regime  1831-1876 

The  years  which  began  with  the  accidental  encounter  between 
Fisher  and  Howe  on  Boylston  Street  in  Boston  were  indeed  important 
ones  for  blind  children  in  all  the  years  that  followed.  Decisions  made  then 
and  standards  then  established  still  have  their  effect  today  not  only  in 
Boston  but  in  distant  corners  of  the  globe. 

Lessons  from  Europe 

The  story  begins  with  Howe  visiting  European  schools  for  the  blind 
at  the  request  of  the  Trustees.  On  his  return  he  wrote  an  extensive  report 
which  in  many  ways  can  still  serve  as  a  basis  for  educational  programs  for 
blind  youth.  He  reported,  "I  visited  all  the  principal  institutions  for  the 
blind  in  Europe,  and  found  in  all  much  to  admire  and  to  copy,  but  much 
also  to  avoid."  He  was  distressed  by  the  inadequacy  of  programs  as  a 
whole.  In  France  he  found,  "There  are  only  one  in  three  hundred  of  their 
blind  who  receive  an  education." 

With  universal  free  education  a  burning  issue  in  the  United  States  at 
that  time,  it  is  not  surprising  that  Dr.  Howe,  who  was  to  become  the  close 
friend  and  collaborator  of  Horace  Mann,  should  be  dissatisfied  with  this 
situation  and  determined  to  provide  a  program  which  would  be  available 
to  all  blind  persons  who  could  profit  from  an  education. 

He  found  there  was  a  grievous  shortage  of  embossed  books  and  other 
equipment,  much  of  which  he  felt  was  of  poor  design.  He  was  particularly 
disappointed  to  find  that  most  of  the  boys  and  girls  on  leaving  school 
were  ill-prepared  for  adult  life  and  that  only  a  very  few  of  them  were  able 


52  148th  Annual  Report 

to  support  themselves.  He  was  delighted,  however,  with  the  outstanding 
successes  of  a  few,  and  recognized  the  great  importance  of  these  successes 
as  examples  for  others.  On  the  whole  he  decided  that  the  European 
schools  were  "beacons  to  warn  rather  than  lights  to  guide." 

The  happiest  of  his  recollections  was  of  boys  from  the  school  in  Paris 
playing  in  a  park  where  "they  run  away  among  the  trees,  and  frolic  and 
play  together  with  all  the  zest  and  enjoyment  of  seeing  children.  They 
know  every  tree  and  shrub,  they  careen  it  up  one  alley  and  down  another, 
they  chase,  catch,  overthrow  and  knock  each  other  about,  exactly  like 
seeing  boys;  and  to  judge  by  their  laughing  faces,  their  wild  and  unre- 
strained gestures,  and  their  loud  and  hearty  shouts,  they  partake  equally 
the  delightful  excitement  of  boyish  play."  As  a  result  of  this  observation, 
thousands  of  Perkins  boys  and  girls  were  provided  with  such  experiences. 
The  School  has  always  included  spacious  play  areas. 

Howe  wanted  to  avoid  anything  which  would  restrict  the  normal 
growth  of  blind  children.  "We  should  depend  entirely  neither  upon  phys- 
ical nor  intellectual  education,  nor  should  we  lay  down  any  general  rule 
to  be  observed  toward  all  pupils.  One  ought  to  be  even  more  observant  of 
the  bent  of  a  blind  boy's  mind,  and  the  direction  of  his  talent,  than  one  is 
in  the  education  of  seeing  children."  This  might  serve  as  the  charter  of 
our  guidance  programs  today. 

He  also  recognized  that  blind  persons  must  be  encouraged  to  behave 
as  normally  as  possible  if  they  were  to  live  satisfying  lives  in  their  own 
communities.  "I  would  observe  that  sufficient  attention  is  not  paid  to  the 
personal  demeanor  of  the  blind,  either  by  their  parents,  or  in  the  public 
institutions,  they  contract  disagreeable  habits,  whether  in  posture  or  in 
movement.  .  .  .  All  of  this  can  be  corrected  by  pursuing  the  same  means 
as  used  with  seeing  children  and  by  accustoming  them  to  society.'" 

The  First  Classes 

The  name  under  which  the  School  was  chartered  indicates  the  atti- 
tude of  Boston  society  to  the  blind  at  that  time.  While  the  word  ASY- 
LUM did  not  have  the  same  association  with  mental  sickness  that  it 
acquired  later,  it  indicated  a  refuge.  Howe  had  no  intention  of  providing 
anything  of  the  sort.  He  proposed  to  offer  a  well-balanced  education  of 
academics,  crafts,  games  and  music,  and  when  he  referred  to  the  school 
he  usually  called  it  the  New  England  Institution  for  the  Education  of  the 
Blind.  He  wanted  his  pupils  to  live  lives  as  closely  akin  to  those  of  their 
seeing  brothers  and  sisters  as  possible. 

While  in  Europe  Dr.  Howe  recognized  the  advantages  of  having

cept when  otherwise  indicated. 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  53 

some  blind  teachers  on  his  staff.  He  knew  that  it  was  not  only  the  disin- 
terested public  and  the  over-concerned  parents  of  the  pupils  who  had  to 
be  shown  that  blind  children  could  learn  and  that  blind  adults  could  sup- 
port themselves.  Blind  children  themselves  needed  encouragement,  and 
the  example  of  competent  blind  instructors  was  invaluable.  When  he  re- 
turned from  Europe  Dr.  Howe  brought  with  him  two  blind  men — M. 
Emile  Trencheri  from  Paris  to  teach  academic  subjects,  and  Mr.  John 
Pringle  from  Edinburgh  to  give  instruction  in  crafts. 

In  July  1832,  with  two  little  girls  as  pupils — Sophia  Carter,  eight, 
and  her  six-year-old  sister  Abbey — Howe  began  teaching  in  his  father's 
house  at  140  Pleasant  Street,  Boston.  By  August  the  enrollment  had  in- 
creased to  six,  ranging  in  age  from  six  to  twenty  years. 

The  Move  to  Pearl  Street 

The  school  soon  outgrew  the  Howe  family  home.  Thomas  Handasyd 
Perkins,  who  was  one  of  the  Trustees  and  Vice-President,  was  a  wealthy 
Boston  merchant.  In  April  1833  he  offered  his  home  on  Pearl  Street  for 
the  use  of  the  school,  provided  that  during  the  month  of  May  a  fund  of 
fifty  thousand  dollars  be  raised  by  wealthy  persons  for  its  support.  This 
was  done,  for  Boston  society  was  already  learning  of  Dr.  Howe's  School 
and  giving  it  support  as  it  has  done  most  generously  ever  since.  Support 
from  a  wider  group  of  Bostonians  came  also  in  these  very  early  years  and 
a  Bazaar  was  held  in  Faneuil  Hall,  which  was  highly  successful. 

Public  Demonstrations 

Although  Dr.  Howe  had  felt  that  European  schools  gave  too  much 
attention  to  public  exhibitions,  he  soon  recognized  their  importance.  The 
School  needed  not  only  the  financial  support,  but  the  understanding  of 
the  public,  if  his  boys  and  girls  were  ever  to  be  employed  on  completing 
their  education.  Every  Saturday  the  School  was  thrown  open  and  the 
pupils  read  aloud  from  their  scanty  supply  of  embossed  books;  wrote 
painstakingly,  but  in  a  legible  script;  performed  arithmetical  calculations; 
located  geographical  features  on  raised  maps,  and  played  musical  instru- 
ments. Most  of  the  visitors  were  deeply  impressed,  but  some  skeptics  be- 
lieved the  children  could  actually  see,  and  to  counter  this  suspicion,  Dr. 
Howe  had  the  children  wear  strips  of  cloth  over  their  eyes. 

Demonstrations  were  also  given  in  many  public  places,  some  of 
which  were  of  great  importance.  Interest  was  aroused  amongst  legislators 
in  the  New  England  States,  and  several  schools  for  the  blind — including 
some  in  the  Middle  West — owe  their  origins  to  demonstrations  by  the 
Perkins  pupils  in  their  State  Capitols.

Early  Books  and  Equipment 

When  Dr.  Howe  returned  from  Europe  he  brought  with  him  three 
embossed  books  acquired  in  France  and  England,  which  now  form  a  part 
of  the  historical  collection  in  the  Perkins  library.  He  soon  recognized  that 
education  could  not  proceed  without  many  good  books.  He  also  recog- 
nized that  the  cost  of  such  books  if  they  were  made  for  the  school  alone 
would  be  prohibitive.  Consequently,  he  set  out  to  raise  money  by  his  own 
efforts  to  establish  a  printing  department  whose  publications  could  be 
sold  to  institutions  for  the  blind  throughout  the  world,  or  could  be  used  in 
exchange  for  books  made  by  other  Presses,  notably  one  in  Scotland.  His 
pioneering  nature  expressed  itself  in  the  design  of  a  new  font  of  type 
which  became  known  as  Boston  Line  Type.  This  is  still  used  by  the  Howe 
Press  at  Perkins  on  the  title  pages  of  its  braille  books.  Unfortunately,  dec- 
ades of  controversy  between  proponents  of  different  designs  of  type  now 
began,  and  "the  war  of  the  types,"  which  later  involved  several  forms  of 
braille,  was  not  satisfactorily  concluded  until  the  1920's. 

Dr.  Howe  also  recognized  the  need  for  maps  and  designed  many 
himself.  At  his  request,  the  School  printer,  Mr.  S.  P.  Ruggles,  designed 
and  manufactured  a  giant  embossed  globe  which  nowadays  has  an  hon- 
ored place  in  the  entrance  to  the  Howe  Building  in  Watertown. 

Dr.  Howe  never  solved  the  problem  of  embossed  textbooks  to  his 
own  satisfaction.  He  made  efforts  to  establish  a  national  library  for  the 
blind  without  avail,  though  his  agitation  no  doubt  paved  the  way  for  the 
founding  in  1858  of  The  American  Printing  House  for  the  Blind  in 
Louisville,  Kentucky.  The  printing  department  which  he  established  in 
1836  was  the  forerunner  of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  established  in  his 
memory  by  his  successors. 

Music 

The  rules  and  regulations  which  the  Trustees  drew  up  when  the 
School  opened  required  that  "the  pupils  will  be  taught  reading,  writing, 
arithmetic,  algebra,  geography,  history,  physiology  and  such  other  sub- 
jects that  are  taught  in  the  best  common  schools;  beside  vocal  and  instru- 
mental music." 

The  School  actually  opened  with  a  staff  of  five,  including  Dr.  Howe 
and  a  matron.  We  have  already  mentioned  M.  Trencheri  and  Mr.  Pringle. 
The  third  instructor  was  Mr.  Lowell  Mason,  Professor  of  Music.  Among 
the  earliest  appeals  for  funds  by  Dr.  Howe  was  a  request  for  two  thou- 
sand dollars  for  pianofortes,  organs  and  other  instruments.  Soon  the 
School  had  thirteen  pianos,  and  it  was  reported  that  they  were  kept  in  al- 
most continual  action  from  six  o'clock  in  the  morning  until  nine  in  the 
evening.  Vocal  music  was  much  cultivated  and  with  great  success,  the 
pupils  giving  public  concerts  which  afforded  "entire  satisfaction  to  the 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  55 

audiences."  Some  of  the  pupils  were  prepared  to  become  church  organ- 
ists. The  curriculum  for  the  day  was  "in  general  terms,  the  pupils  devote 
four  hours  daily  to  intellectual  labor;  four  hours  to  vocal  and  instrumen- 
tal music;  four  to  recreation  and  eating;  four  hours  to  manual  labor  and 
eight  to  sleep." 

It  is  notable  that  even  as  early  as  the  1837  Report  Dr.  Howe  states 
that  "we  would  also  ask  for  our  pupils  a  share  of  public  patronage  in  the 
business  of  tuning  pianofortes.  Some  of  them  can  tune  in  the  best  style. 
Pianofortes  will  be  kept  in  order  by  the  year  at  a  reasonable  rate  and  the 
work  warranted  to  give  satisfaction  to  competent  judges." 

Early  Graduates 

It  should  be  noted  also  that  in  1837  ten  pupils  had  been  discharged 
and  "we  are  happy  to  add  that  all  of  them  left  under  circumstances  cred- 
itable to  themselves  and  much  benefited  by  the  instruction  they  had  re- 
ceived. One  of  them— A.  W.  Penniman — was  employed  by  the  Trustees 
of  the  new  Institution  in  the  State  of  Ohio  to  commence  and  direct  their 
school  and  he  is  now  thus  employed  both  respectably  and  profitably  to 
himself.  Charles  Morrill,  one  of  the  earliest  pupils,  has  become  such  a 
proficient  in  the  science  of  vocal  music  that  he  readily  found  employment 
as  a  teacher  and  is  now  so  employed  in  the  Academy  at  Derry,  N.H.  He 
has  large  classes  of  seeing  children  under  his  charge  and  succeeds  well. 
His  knowledge  of  the  organ  and  tuning  pianofortes  afford  him  additional 
means  of  obtaining  a  livelihood.  Three  of  the  others  who  had  attended 
chiefly  to  mechanical  employments  have  commenced  work  in  their  native 
towns  and  with  the  capacity  and  prospect  of  being  able  by  industry  and 
perseverance  to  obtain  their  own  livelihood." 

1837 — A  Memorable  Year 

In  this  year  Dr.  Howe  opened  a  workshop  for  adults.  He  did  this  re- 
luctantly for  he  had  hoped  by  including  crafts  in  the  school  program  and 
by  giving  a  normal  education  to  his  boys  and  girls  he  could  demonstrate 
satisfactorily  to  the  wealthy  manufacturers  and  merchants  of  Boston  that 
blind  men  and  women  were  desirable  employees.  While  he  never  seemed 
to  have  much  trouble  in  persuading  his  rich  friends  to  open  their  pocket- 
books,  he  found  that  they  were  extremely  reluctant  to  add  blind  persons 
to  their  payrolls. 

Consequently,  he  decided  he  would  have  a  demonstration  Shop 
where  blind  men  and  women  could  obtain  specific  training  in  useable 
skills.  He  desired  strongly  to  avoid  patterns  which  he  had  observed  in  Eu- 
rope in  which  the  majority  of  the  adult  blind  were  employed  permanently 
in  sheltered  workshops. 


56  148th  Annual  Report 

However,  even  with  this  demonstration  Shop,  Howe  was  never  able 
to  place  all  of  his  pupils  in  satisfactory  employ,  and  the  Workshop  which 
opened  in  1837  was  to  continue  until  1952,  the  longest  span  of  years  of 
any  American  Workshop  for  the  Blind  at  that  time. 

"The  main  object  of  all  these  instrumentalities  is  to  give  to  the  pupils 
a  store  of  useful  knowledge;  to  develop  in  them  the  aesthetic  sense;  to 
train  them  up  in  virtuous  and  industrious  habits;  to  cultivate  and 
strengthen  their  mental  and  bodily  powers  by  systematic  and  constant 
exercise;  and,  lastly,  to  make  them  hardy  and  self-reliant,  so  that  they 
may  go  out  into  the  world,  not  to  eat  the  bread  of  charity,  but  to  earn  a 
livelihood  by  honest  work." 

An  important  event  took  place  in  1837.  Among  the  pupils  admitted 
that  year  was  Laura  Bridgman,  a  seven-year-old  child  from  New  Hamp- 
shire. Laura,  the  first  deaf-blind  child  ever  to  be  successfully  educated, 
was  Dr.  Howe's  own  personal  pupil. 

In  1842  Charles  Dickens  visited  America  and  on  his  return  to  En- 
gland published  his  American  notes  which  were  largely  critical  of  the  new 
country.  However,  his  praise  for  what  Dr.  Howe  and  Laura  Bridgman 
had  accomplished  together  was  widely  read  throughout  Europe  and 
gave  the  young  school  an  international  standing  which  has  grown  ever 
since. 

The  Move  to  South  Boston 

In  1839  the  School  enrollment  had  grown  to  sixty-five  and  the  Per- 
kins residence  on  Pearl  Street  was  no  longer  adequate.  At  this  time  the 
large  hotel,  known  as  the  Mount  Washington  House  at  South  Boston, 
came  on  the  market.  To  provide  funds  for  the  purchase  of  this  property, 
Mr.  Perkins  allowed  his  Pearl  Street  estate  to  be  sold.  This  generous  act 
was  recognized  by  the  Corporation  changing  the  name  of  the  School  to 
Perkins  Institution  and  Massachusetts  Asylum  for  the  Blind. 

Ten  years  after  Dr.  Howe  met  Dr.  Fisher,  he  could  look  back  on  a 
remarkable  achievement.  The  School  had  been  founded  and  its  finances, 
while  strictly  limited,  were  adequate  for  the  moment.  Certain  principles 
and  standards  had  been  established  which  had  already  proved  beneficial 
to  the  pupils  in  the  School  and  which  were  to  benefit  many  more  as  the 
years  went  by. 

For  another  thirty-four  years  Howe  directed  the  School,  enlarging 
and  improving  the  buildings.  In  1 870  he  introduced,  on  a  small  scale,  the 
Cottage  System  of  student  living  which  is  such  an  important  feature  of 
the  School  today.  To  the  end  of  his  life  he  emphasized  always  the  desir- 
ability of  training  blind  children  for  adult  careers  in  which  they  would 
share  to  the  fullest  the  lives  of  their  families  and  participate  in  commu- 
nity life.  Dr.  Howe  died  in  1876  at  the  age  of  seventy-four. 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  57 

The  Anagnos  Years 

It  was  appropriate  that  Dr.  Howe's  successor,  Michael  Anagnos, 
should  be  a  Greek.  Howe  had  fought  for  the  political  independence  of 
Greek  citizens  before  he  began  laboring  for  the  social  and  economic  in- 
dependence of  blind  men  and  women  in  America. 

In  1 867  Howe  was  back  in  Greece  distributing  relief  supplies  to  the 
Cretans  who  were  rebelling  against  the  Turks.  There  he  met  Michael  An- 
agnos who  followed  him  back  to  Boston  where  he  not  only  became  his 
son-in-law,  but  served  as  his  right-hand  man  during  the  last  years  of  his 
life. 

The  international  outlook  which  Howe  brought  to  the  School  was 
maintained  by  Anagnos,  and  one  of  the  first  acts  of  his  directorship  was 
to  cooperate  with  a  school  for  the  blind  in  Vienna  in  building  up  a  Blind- 
iana  Library  and  Museum.  In  later  years  this  Library  was  to  prove  inval- 
uable in  our  teacher-training  programs. 

Michael  Anagnos  had  been  a  newspaper  editor  in  Athens.  His  early 
struggles  for  an  education  made  him  sympathetic  to  the  desire  for  learn- 
ing wherever  he  found  it,  and  this  desire  was  strong  among  many  blind 
boys  and  girls  at  Perkins.  In  his  efforts  to  raise  the  standard  of  instruction 
to  a  higher  level,  he  soon  encountered  the  same  shortage  of  embossed 
books  which  had  plagued  Dr.  Howe.  In  spite  of  all  Dr.  Howe's  efforts,  the 
School  printing  press  was  small  and  inadequately  financed.  As  a  tribute 
to  his  predecessor,  Michael  Anagnos  in  1881  established  the  Howe  Me- 
morial Press  and  appealed  successfully  to  the  public  for  funds  for  its 
endowment. 

First  Kindergarten  for  the  Blind 

Anagnos  is  best  remembered  for  the  "kindergarten  for  the  blind" 
which  he  established  in  Jamaica  Plain,  a  section  of  Boston,  in  1887.  Up 
until  this  time  pupils  were  not  usually  accepted  at  Perkins  below  the  age 
of  eight  or  nine.  In  the  new  kindergarten  they  started  as  early  as  five.  This 
School  unit,  which  included  not  only  a  kindergarten  year,  but  the  first  six 
grades,  was  generously  financed  by  the  people  of  Boston  under  the  per- 
sistent and  skillful  urging  of  the  School's  second  Director. 

Anne  Sullivan  and  Helen  Keller 

Probably  the  incident  in  Michael  Anagnos'  career  which  is  the  best 
known  throughout  the  world  was  his  choice  of  Anne  Sullivan,  a  recent 
graduate  from  Perkins,  to  go  down  to  Alabama  to  work  with  the  infant 
Helen  Keller.  Using  only  the  reports  which  Dr.  Howe  had  compiled  of  his 
work  with  Laura  Bridgman,  Anne  Sullivan  proved  equal  to  the  task  of 
teaching  language  to  Helen  Keller.  The  two  of  them  spent  the  years  1889 
to  1893  at  Perkins  as  the  guests  of  Michael  Anagnos  whose  encourage- 
ment was  a  major  factor  in  the  success  of  these  two  remarkable  women. 


58  148th  Annual  Report 

Faculty  Growth 

Perhaps  the  real  measure  of  Michael  Anagnos'  directorship  was 
the  spectacular  increase  in  the  number  of  teachers.  When  he  became  di- 
rector in  1876  there  were  eleven  teachers  for  147  pupils,  or  one  teacher  to 
each  13  children.  Moreover,  no  fewer  than  five  of  these  11  were  music 
teachers.  For  academic  instruction  there  was  one  teacher  for  every  29 
pupils. 

At  the  time  of  his  death,  which  took  place  in  Romania  in  1906  in  his 
seventieth  year,  there  were  two  separate  schools,  the  Lower  School  in  Ja- 
maica Plain,  and  the  Upper  School  in  South  Boston.  In  the  former,  18 
teachers  (five  of  them  for  music)  taught  1 1 8  children,  a  ratio  of  one  to  six 
and  a  half.  Teachers  of  academic  subjects  were  one  to  nine. 

In  the  Upper  School  in  South  Boston  46  teachers  taught  171  pupils,  a 
ratio  of  one  to  four.  In  academic  subjects  the  ratio  was  one  to  nine,  the 
same  as  in  Jamaica  Plain.  This  unique  high  ratio  of  teacher  to  pupils  has 
been  a  characteristic  feature  of  Perkins  ever  since. 

Edward  E.  Allen,  Educator 

Dr.  Howe  was  a  physician,  and  Michael  Anagnos,  while  a  scholar, 
was  primarily  an  editor.  The  School's  third  Director,  who  succeeded  Mi- 
chael Anagnos  on  his  death  in  1906,  was  an  educator.  After  graduating 
from  Harvard  he  had  taught  for  several  years  in  the  Royal  Normal 
School  for  the  Blind  in  London — a  school  whose  first  Director  was 
Francis  Campbell,  a  former  music  teacher  at  Perkins.  From  London  Dr. 
Allen  returned  to  Boston  where  he  taught  at  Perkins  for  several  years.  He 
was  then  appointed  superintendent  of  the  School  for  Blind  in  Philadel- 
phia where  he  remained  for  sixteen  years. 

In  1906  he  was  called  back  to  Boston  on  the  death  of  Michael  An- 
agnos, and  almost  immediately  began  a  campaign  to  move  the  School 
from  South  Boston  to  some  site  where  there  would  be  space  for  greater 
physical  activity.  Quoting  the  philosophy  of  Francis  Campbell,  whom  he 
greatly  admired,  he  made  a  plea  for  facilities  where  the  blind  boys  and 
girls  could  be  brought  up  in  a  much  more  active  manner  than  was  possi- 
ble within  the  narrow  confines  at  South  Boston.  In  1910  he  had  found  the 
spot  he  was  looking  for  on  the  Stickney  estate  in  Watertown,  and  during 
the  next  three  years  both  the  School  in  South  Boston  and  the  Kindergar- 
ten in  Jamaica  Plain  were  moved  to  the  present  site. 

Dr.  Edward  E.  Allen  is  responsible  for  many  firsts  in  the  education 
of  the  blind.  His  strong  interest  in  physical  activity  for  youth  led  him  to 
appoint  the  first  trained  physiotherapist  in  any  school  for  the  blind  in 
1908. 

The  Watertown  plant  carried  to  fruition  the  Cottage  Family  plan  in- 
augurated by  Dr.  Howe,  but  Dr.  Allen  immediately  recognized  that  for 
the  plan  to  succeed  as  he  hoped,  it  was  necessary  that  a  much  closer  con- 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  59 

tact  between  the  Perkins  Cottage  Family  and  the  pupils'  own  families  was 
desirable.  In  1916  he  appointed  a  Home  Visitor,  the  first  ever  to  serve  a 
school  for  the  blind  on  a  full-time  basis.  A  year  or  two  later,  together  with 
the  Overbrook  School  for  the  Blind,  Dr.  Allen  engaged  the  services  of  Dr. 
Samuel  P.  Hayes,  Head  of  the  Psychology  Department  at  Mt.  Holyoke 
College,  to  prepare  the  first  psychological  tests  for  blind  children.  These 
tests — known  as  the  Hayes-Binet  Tests — successfully  demonstrated  for 
the  first  time  that  the  population  of  blind  people  does  not  differ  in  intelli- 
gence from  the  population  of  the  seeing.  That  is,  there  is  approximately 
the  same  percentage  of  superior,  normal  and  inferior  blind  as  you  find 
among  seeing  boys  and  girls. 

In  1920  Dr.  Allen  took  the  first  steps  towards  placing  the  education 
of  blind  children  on  a  professional  level  comparable  to  the  best  public 
and  private  schools  in  the  country.  In  this  year,  the  first  graduate-level 
teacher-training  program  for  teachers  of  the  blind  was  established  at  Per- 
kins in  cooperation  with  Harvard  University.  In  1924  Dr.  Allen  ap- 
pointed the  first  Speech  Therapist  as  a  full-time  employee  in  a  school  for 
the  blind. 

By  the  end  of  the  first  century  of  the  school's  history  when  Dr.  Allen 
retired,  the  shape  of  Perkins  as  we  know  it  today,  its  ideals  and  its  stan- 
dards were  firmly  established. 

The  three  Directors  who  headed  the  School  throughout  this  century 
were  all  mindful  of  the  fact  that  the  population  of  blind  people  is  a  rela- 
tively small  one.  The  blind  would  always  be  a  minority  group,  and  con- 
sequently, if  blind  men  and  women  were  to  take  their  place  among  the 
seeing  majority,  they  must  make  a  greater  effort  to  succeed  in  whatever 
they  set  out  to  accomplish. 

In  a  larger  sense,  however,  it  was  not  so  much  the  efforts  of  these 
three  men  that  made  the  School  what  it  is  today,  but  the  fact  that 
throughout  ten  decades  the  challenges  which  these  directors  and  their 
staffs  hurled  at  their  pupils  were  picked  up  and  eagerly  accepted,  and  in 
many  cases  surpassed.  All  that  the  Perkins  faculty  could  do  was  to  offer 
opportunities  to  their  boys  and  girls.  It  was  the  good  use  to  which  these 
young  people  put  these  opportunities  that  made  Perkins  a  great  success. 
The  history  of  the  School  was  written  rather  in  the  efforts  of  Sophia 
Carter,  the  first  blind  child  to  come  to  Perkins,  and  her  many  successors: 
such  as  Laura  Bridgman,  A.  W.  Penniman,  Stephen  Blaisdell,  Anne  Sul- 
livan and  Helen  Keller. 

Perkins  was  not  only  a  school  whose  innovations  were  important  to 
itself  and  to  other  schools  in  the  United  States  for  by  1931  it  had  become 
well  known  in  other  lands.  The  visits  of  all  the  three  Directors  to  Europe, 
the  story  Charles  Dickens  wrote  about  Laura  Bridgman  and  the  out- 
standing work  of  Francis  Campbell,  a  former  blind  teacher  at  Perkins, 
who  helped  to  found  the  Royal  Normal  School  for  the  Blind  in  London, 


60  148th  Annual  Report 

England,  had  given  the  school  a  unique  standing  which  was  greatly  en- 
hanced by  the  enrollment  of  teachers  in  training  from  overseas. 

Undoubtedly  an  important  factor  in  this  development  was  the  pres- 
ence among  the  Trustees  throughout  the  years  of  men  with  overseas  in- 
terests and  an  international  outlook.  Dr.  Fisher  studied  in  Europe. 
Colonel  Perkins  spent  his  life  in  overseas  commerce  and  traveled  exten- 
sively in  the  Caribbean,  Europe  and  the  Far  East.  Another  of  our  foun- 
ders was  William  H.  Prescott,  the  historian  of  Spain  and  with  Spanish 
conquests  in  South  America.  Horace  Mann,  an  early  Trustee,  studied  in 
European  education.  New  England  society  had  many  world  ties  and 
Boston  generosity  was  not  confined  to  the  blind  members  of  its  own 
community. 

This  international  interest  continued  into  the  second  century  and  has 
been  a  matter  of  major  concern  to  the  Trustees  and  administration  of 
Perkins  up  to  the  present  date. 

Second  Century 

On  the  retirement  of  Dr.  Edward  E.  Allen  and  the  appointment  of 
Dr.  Gabriel  Farrell  to  succeed  him,  the  School  started  on  its  second  cen- 
tury. Dr.  Farrell,  who  was  an  Episcopalian  minister  of  varied  experience, 
brought  to  the  School  a  vigor  and  organizing  ability  that  led  to  immediate 
improvements. 

One  of  his  first  tasks  was  to  organize  the  work  for  the  Deaf- Blind 
into  a  special  department  under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Inez  B.  Hall,  a  pi- 
oneer in  the  use  of  the  vibration  technique  of  teaching  deaf-blind  chil- 
dren to  speak. 

In  Dr.  Farrell's  early  years  also  many  improvements  in  the  business 
of  the  institution  took  place,  and  a  notable  event  was  the  creation  of  the 
Officer  of  Bursar  to  handle  business  affairs.  In  these  years,  too,  the  School 
which  had  virtually  been  three  schools,  Lower  School,  Boys'  Upper 
School  and  Girls'  Upper  School,  were  combined  into  a  single  unit  with 
the  educational  program  under  the  control  of  a  single  Principal. 

The  Perkins  "Lantern" 

Dr.  Farrell  was  an  experienced  journalist  and  it  was  natural  that  as  a 
result  he  should  inaugurate  a  magazine  to  acquaint  friends  of  Perkins 
with  the  affairs  of  the  School.  This  magazine,  The  Lantern,  which  is  is- 
sued quarterly  in  print  and  braille  form,  was  established  in  1931.  It  has 
done  much  to  acquaint  workers  in  this  field  with  the  School's  endeavors 
and  to  bring  it  many  friends  among  the  general  public.  It  also  serves  to 
keep  former  students  more  closely  in  touch  with  their  School. 

The  years  of  World  War  II  were  difficult  ones  for  the  School  and  a 
number  of  the  older  boys  left  earlier  than  they  would  have  otherwise  to 
obtain  employment.  However,  the  changing  situation  in  the  labor  market 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  61 

since  World  War  II  has  brought  about  many  new  opportunities  for  em- 
ployment among  the  blind.  The  goal  which  Dr.  Howe  sought  of  finding 
unsheltered  employment  for  all  the  boys  and  girls  of  the  School  finally 
became  a  reality  in  the  closing  years  of  Dr.  Farrell's  directorship  which 
ended  in  1951. 

The  Fifth  Director 

As  a  result  of  this  changing  economic  situation,  one  of  the  first  acts 
of  the  fifth  Director,  Dr.  Edward  J.  Waterhouse,  who  succeeded  Dr.  Far- 
rell  in  195 1,  was  the  closing  of  the  Workshop  which  Dr.  Howe  established 
in  1837.  This  Workshop  was  partly  rendered  superfluous  by  the  estab- 
lishment in  recent  years  of  State  Workshops.  For  over  a  decade  no  Per- 
kins pupil  had  sought  employment  in  the  Perkins  Shop.  It  was  only  a 
matter  of  time  before  the  plant  would  close  down  of  its  own  volition.  It 
seemed  wiser  to  bring  about  a  more  orderly  demise,  and  the  Workshop 
was  officially  closed  in  June  1952. 

While  the  last  decade  is  too  close  to  the  present  for  evaluation,  cer- 
tain events  may  be  recorded.  The  work  of  Dr.  Hayes,  encouraged  by  both 
Dr.  Allen  and  Dr.  Farrell,  led  in  turn  to  the  establishment  of  a  guidance 
department  employing  several  clinical  psychologists.  Dr.  Allen  had 
added  a  psychometrist  to  the  staff,  a  practice  which  Dr.  Farrell  had  con- 
tinued. In  the  1950's  Guidance  Counselling  became  an  important  part  of 
the  School  program. 

The  Retrolental-fibroplasia  Wave 

The  first  child  to  be  admitted  to  Perkins  whose  blindness  was  caused 
by  retrolental  fibroplasia  was  enrolled  in  1946.  This  disease  which  re- 
sulted from  excessive  exposure  of  prematurely  born  infants  to  oxygen  was 
soon  to  add  thousands  of  girls  and  boys  to  schools  and  classes  for  the 
blind  in  the  1950's.  Fortunately  this  disease  was  rapidly  brought  under 
control  and  it  is  a  rare  event  for  a  child  to  lose  his  sight  for  this  reason 
nowadays.  At  Perkins,  where  the  enrollment  had  been  steadily  declining, 
an  immediate  increase  was  experienced.  Between  1946  and  1951,  while 
the  Upper  School  population  decreased  by  28,  the  Lower  School  in- 
creased by  32.  Soon  the  total  school  population,  which  had  declined  to 
234  in  1943,  was  in  excess  of  300. 

This  increase  would  have  been  far  greater  had  it  not  been  for  the 
rapid  increase  at  this  time  of  classes  for  blind  children  in  the  public 
schools  throughout  the  United  States.  This  was  largely  the  result  of  the 
retrolental-fibroplasia  wave  and  the  desire  of  parents  to  keep  their  chil- 
dren at  home.  In  a  few  years  more  than  half  the  blind  children  in 
America  were  being  educated  in  this  way.  Had  it  not  been  for  this  pro- 
gram, in  New  England,  Perkins  would  have  been  forced  to  increase  its 
capacity  considerably.

The  Deaf-Blind  Department 

The  Deaf-Blind  Department  which  had  nourished  since  its  organiza- 
tion in  1931  until  the  outbreak  of  World  War  II  was  in  serious  danger  of 
collapse  in  the  years  which  followed  the  War.  There  was  an  acute  na- 
tional shortage  of  trained  teachers  of  the  deaf — the  source  upon  which 
Perkins  has  mainly  drawn  for  its  teachers  for  its  deaf-blind  children.  It 
became  necessary  for  Perkins  to  establish  its  own  program  for  training 
teachers  of  the  deaf-blind  which  was  worked  out  in  cooperation  with 
Boston  University  in  1955.  A  program  of  research  was  also  established  in 
the  Deaf-Blind  Department  at  this  time.  The  Department  grew  from  five 
pupils  in  1953  to  forty  pupils  in  1969,  making  it  by  far  the  largest  in  the 
world.  It  included  over  one-third  of  all  deaf-blind  pupils  in  special  pro- 
grams in  the  United  States.  In  February  1968  a  day  program  for  pre- 
school deaf-blind  pupils  was  opened  to  accommodate  local  victims  of  the 
1963-64  maternal  rubella  epidemic. 

The  Rubella  Wave 

As  the  retrolental-fibroplasia  wave  began  to  recede  and  hopes  grew 
that  the  total  number  of  the  blind  and  deaf-blind  in  the  United  States 
would  rapidly  decline,  the  maternal  rubella  epidemic  changed  the  situa- 
tion markedly.  Within  a  few  years  the  total  number  of  deaf-blind  chil- 
dren to  need  an  education  in  the  United  States,  which  had  probably 
numbered  less  than  300,  rose  to  nearer  3000  and  Perkins  had  to  plan  to 
meet  this  challenge.  The  Trustees  authorized  the  construction  of  new 
buildings  which  were  opened  in  1970  and  1971  as  the  population  of  deaf- 
blind  gradually  increased  from  what  had  been  steadily  in  the  30's  to  two 
or  three  times  that  number. 

New  England  Center  for  Deaf- Blind  Children 

As  a  result  of  the  first  federal  legislation  for  the  education  of  deaf- 
blind  children,  Perkins  was  named  the  New  England  Regional  Center  for 
Deaf-Blind  Children  and  assigned  the  responsibility  of  organizing  and 
supervising  programs  for  these  doubly  handicapped  children  throughout 
the  region. 

Education  of  the  Public 

Ever  since  Dr.  Howe's  days,  it  has  been  recognized  at  Perkins  that 
one  of  the  important  responsibilities  of  a  school  for  the  blind  is  to  educate 
the  public  whenever  possible  concerning  the  abilities  of  blind  persons. 
The  demonstrations  which  Dr.  Howe  inaugurated  are  still  carried  out, 
though  nowadays  they  are  held  annually  instead  of  weekly.  Emphasis  is 
now  on  methods  of  mass  education,  and  during  recent  years,  seven  pro- 
fessional motion  picture  films  have  been  produced  for  Perkins  by  Camp- 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  63 

bell  Films.  The  first  of  these  was  entitled  "The  Perkins  Story"  and  ap- 
peared in  1956.  Although  quite  out  of  date  in  many  respects,  it  is  still  very 
popular.  This  was  followed  by  "Children  of  the  Silent  Night"  which  dealt 
with  our  deaf-blind  children.  The  third  film  entitled  "The  Legacy  of 
Anne  Sullivan"  was  made  in  collaboration  with  the  Industrial  Home  for 
the  Blind,  Brooklyn,  New  York  as  part  of  the  celebration  of  the  100th 
anniversary  of  the  birth  of  Anne  Sullivan  in  1966.  A  further  film  entitled 
"The  Realities  of  Blindness — The  Perkins  Experience"  was  completed  in 
1971  as  a  replacement  for  "The  Perkins  Story."  Two  additional  films  on 
the  deaf-blind  have  been  completed  and  are  in  circulation.  These  are 
"The  World  of  Deaf-Blind  Children — How  They  Communicate"  and 
"The  World  of  Deaf-Blind  Children — Growing  Up."  A  film  on  career 
education,  "The  Perkins  Story — Adapting  to  Change,"  has  been  com- 
pleted and  is  in  distribution.  Hundreds  of  copies  of  these  films  are  in 
constant  circulation. 

The  Sixth  Director 

In  August,  1971,  Benjamin  F.  Smith  became  the  sixth  Director,  suc- 
ceeding Dr.  Edward  J.  Waterhouse.  Mr.  Smith  came  to  the  position  with 
thirty-two  years  of  experience  at  Perkins,  during  which  time  he  served  as 
a  teacher,  as  Principal  and  as  Assistant  Director.  He  was  the  first  visually 
handicapped  man  to  head  the  school. 

Program  Revision  Needed 

Since  the  student  population  was  changing  rapidly  with  the  in- 
creased number  of  multi-impaired  students,  including  the  deaf-blind, 
changes  were  necessary  in  the  school  program. 

Career  Education 

In  September,  1972,  Perkins  established  a  career  education  program, 
beginning  with  junior  and  senior  high  school  students,  with  emphasis  on 
the  development  of  positive  work  attitudes  and  personal  living  skills.  The 
major  components  of  this  program  include  practical  academics,  training 
in  home  and  personal  management,  vocational  exploration  and  increased 
emphasis  in  the  areas  of  orientation  and  mobility,  speech  therapy  and 
occupational  therapy.  Actual  work  experiences,  both  on  and  off  campus, 
serve  as  valuable  supplements  to  the  classroom  work. 

Special  Cottage-Based  Programs 

As  the  population  of  multi-impaired  students  continued  to  increase, 
a  number  of  special  cottage-based  programs  were  developed  in  which 
students  received  classroom  instruction  in  their  cottages,  in  conjunction 
with  training  in  living  and  social  skills.  The  first  of  these  programs,  which 


64  148th  Annual  Report 

was  established  in  Fisher  Cottage,  was  for  a  group  of  Lower  School  boys 
and  girls  whose  chronological  age  was  beyond  those  being  served  in  or 
were  too  old  to  remain  in  the  Lower  School,  but  whose  academic  and  so- 
cial skills  were  insufficient  to  compete  in  the  Upper  School.  Here,  in  ad- 
dition to  receiving  instruction  in  useful  academics,  students  share  in  food 
purchasing,  meal  preparation,  and  in  the  setting  up  of  cottage  procedures 
and  regulations. 

Two  additional  programs  of  the  cottage-classroom  type  were  added 
one  year  after  the  inception  of  the  Fisher  Program  in  1973;  the  Potter 
Program,  which  was  designed  for  pupils  needing  less  academic  emphasis, 
and  the  Brooks  Program,  where  the  curriculum  was  oriented  more  to- 
wards rehabilitation  goals. 

Two  programs  serving  the  needs  of  deaf-blind  students,  were  estab- 
lished in  Eliot  and  Oliver  cottages  during  the  second  and  third  years  fol- 
lowing the  Potter  and  Brooks  programs.  Both  the  Eliot  Program,  which  is 
for  older  students,  and  the  Oliver  Program,  for  younger  students,  stress 
training  in  self-help  skills  and  socialization  in  conjunction  with  useful 
academics. 

Community  Residence  Training  Program 

To  serve  the  needs  of  a  group  of  young  deaf-blind  adults  and  a  group 
of  young  multi-impaired  adults,  Perkins  established  a  community  resi- 
dence training  program  in  1973  in  Bridgman  Cottage.  Here,  under  a  su- 
pervisory and  instructional  staff,  students  receive  training  in  skills 
designed  to  equip  them  for  semi-structured  community  living  after  leav- 
ing Perkins.  As  part  of  their  training,  students  become  responsible  for 
maintaining  their  living  quarters,  preparing  meals,  shopping,  establishing 
bank  accounts  and  developing  recreational  skills. 

Young  Adult  Rehabilitation  Program 

In  September,  1974,  a  young  adult  rehabilitation  program  was 
started,  primarily  for  clients  of  state  agencies  for  the  blind.  This  is  an 
eleven  months  program  that  has  been  financially  supported  by  rehabilita- 
tion agencies  throughout  the  New  England  states  and  New  Jersey.  In- 
cluded in  the  program  are  a  number  of  residential  and  public  high  school 
students,  ranging  in  age  from  1 8-30  years,  who  are  in  need  of  intensive 
rehabilitation  in  order  to  achieve  integration  into  their  communities. 
Each  client  is  enrolled  in  subjects  specific  to  his/her  needs. 

A  second  community  residence  training  program  was  established  in 
Tompkins  Cottage  to  serve  the  needs  of  the  young  adult  rehabilitation 
clients,  including  a  group  of  multi-impaired.  Those  clients  in  the  program 
who  demonstrate  capability  for  apartment  living  become  eligible  for 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  65 

transfer  to  a  program  of  independent  apartment  living  in  the  Northeast 
Building. 

Vocational  Training  Expanded 

During  the  period  1971-1977,  there  was  a  marked  expansion  in  the 
Vocational  Training  Program,  with  an  increase  in  the  number  of  courses 
being  offered.  In  the  Industrial  Education  Department  courses  in  Photog- 
raphy, Small  Engine  Repair,  Wood  and  Metal  Industries  and  Graphics 
were  introduced.  New  courses  offered  in  other  departments  included: 
Switchboard  Operation,  Salesmanship,  Retail  Management,  Food  Ser- 
vice Training  and  Child  Care  Training. 

New  Special  Education  Legislation 

While  Perkins  was  adapting  its  program  to  meet  the  needs  of  its 
changing  student  population,  new  special  education  legislation,  both  fed- 
eral and  state,  was  being  enacted.  The  most  significant  of  this  legislation 
for  Perkins  was  that  passed  in  Massachusetts  in  1974  known  as  Chapter 
766,  which  mandates  that  each  community  provide  education  for  every 
child,  regardless  of  his/her  handicap.  Options  for  educational  placement 
of  children  in  private  schools  such  as  Perkins  were  to  be  considered  only 
after  all  other  possible  options  were  explored  in  public  school  settings. 
Fortunately,  Perkins,  with  its  variety  of  programs  geared  for  the  broad 
population  of  multi-impaired  students,  as  well  as  for  the  visually  im- 
paired, has  been  able  to  provide  a  program  of  educational  services  not 
obtainable  in  most  settings. 

The  Seventh  Director 

On  July  1,  1977,  Charles  C.  Woodcock  became  the  seventh  Director 
of  Perkins,  succeeding  Benjamin  F.  Smith. 

Before  coming  to  Perkins,  Mr.  Woodcock  served  for  five  years  as 
Superintendent  of  the  Iowa  Braille  and  Sight  Saving  School,  Vinton, 
Iowa,  and  for  twenty  years  at  the  Oregon  State  School  for  the  Blind,  the 
last  twelve  as  Director.  He  is  well  known  in  the  field  for  his  development 
of  innovative  programs  for  blind  children  especially  for  the  multi- 
impaired. 

Since  coming  to  Perkins,  the  new  Director  has  worked  closely  with 
his  staff  in  developing  a  program  designed  to  meet  both  the  present  and 
future  needs  of  the  students. 

With  a  task  force  of  selected  staff,  he  is  studying  the  entire  Perkins 
organization  and  working  to  develop  progressive  school  and  personnel 
policies  while  guiding  the  activities  of  the  Assistant  Director  in  a  major 
restructuring  of  the  instructional  programs. 

The  restructuring  will  result  in  units  responsible  for  planning  the 


66 


148th  Annual  Report 


total  program  for  each  student  or  client  within  the  unit.  It  will  provide 
various  options  for  short  term  enrollment  and  a  close  working  relation- 
ship with  local  education  agencies. 

Pupils'  Attitudes  Unchanged 

Were  Dr.  Howe  to  return  to  the  School,  he  would  find  that  many  of 
his  dreams  had  been  fulfilled.  He  would  wholeheartedly  endorse  the 
spirit  of  determination  of  the  blind  and  deaf-blind  boys  and  girls  of  today 
to  overcome  any  impairment  in  the  same  manner  as  in  the  School's  early 
years.  He  would  be  particularly  gratified  to  find  that  many  pupils  leaving 
the  School  become  economically  and  socially  independent.  Both  he  and 
Horace  Mann  would  approve  the  opportunities  the  School  is  offering  to 
the  multi-impaired  blind.

Philosophy  and  Goals 

Philosophy 

Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  accepts  students  from  the  New  England 
states  and  other  parts  of  the  country  as  well  as  from  overseas.  Since  its 
founding,  Perkins  has  provided  equal  opportunities  to  all  students  re- 
gardless of  the  geographic  location  from  which  they  come.  The  school 
also  accepts  responsibility  for  educating  students  who  have  impairments 
in  addition  to  that  of  blindness  and  visual  impairment,  such  as  deafness, 
mental  retardation,  moderate  emotional  problems,  neurological  impair- 
ment, orthopedic  disabilities,  and  perceptual  dysfunction. 


Goals 

The  overall  goals  of  Perkins  include: 


Education — To  assist  blind  and  visually  impaired  children  to  attain  a 
level  of  individual  mastery  of  their  physical,  social,  emotional,  aca- 
demic, and  spiritual  worlds.  Perkins  provides  individual  attention 
wherever  it  is  needed.  Classes  are  small  and  the  teacher-pupil  ratio  is 
high.  An  extensive  diagnostic  and  evaluation  program  helps  in  plac- 
ing each  pupil  in  his  correct  grade  and  reveals  possible  needs  for 
change. 

Interpretation — To  assist  the  public  to  attain  an  informed  status  about  the 
many  visual  deficit  conditions  and  the  implications  of  these  condi- 
tions for  personal  adjustment  and  individual  competence  within  the 
context  of  community  living.  An  extensive  program  has  been  carried 
out  for  the  last  few  years  in  the  production  of  films  and  in  dissemina- 
tion of  literature  on  the  education  of  the  blind  and  visually  impaired 
and  the  deaf-blind. 

Leadership — To  assist  the  staff  to  develop  further  their  capabilities,  atti- 
tudes, and  levels  of  satisfaction  so  as  to  promote  the  effectiveness  of 
their  performance  in  their  many  roles  in  the  school.  The  school  pro- 
vides funds  and,  when  necessary,  released  time  to  teachers  to  attend 
seminars  and  courses  in  their  specialties.  Perkins  seeks  to  keep 
abreast  of  relevant  research  in  both  general  and  special  education. 

Research — To  provide  a  setting  for  the  continuous  exploration  of  prob- 
lems associated  with  visual  impairment,  such  setting  to  be  used  by 
school  staff  and  other  qualified  investigators.  The  intent  of  such  ex- 
ploration would  be  discovering  new  knowledge,  new  approaches, 


68 


148th  Annual  Report 


new  materials,  and  of  perfecting  existing  methods  and  materials  to 
enhance  the  community  effort  in  behalf  of  blind  and  visually  im- 
paired children.  The  school  has  a  Research  Library  which  is  believed 
to  be  the  largest  in  existence  dealing  with  the  education  of  the  blind 
and  visually  impaired. 
Participation — To  contribute  as  an  integral  member  agency  to  the  com- 
munity welfare.    .

Finance 


Treasurer's  Report 

The  report  of  the  Treasurer  for  the  year  ended  August  31,  1979,  is 
submitted  herewith.  The  accounts  of  the  Corporation  were  audited  by 
Coopers  &  Lybrand,  and  their  report  is  attached. 

Income  from  tuition  and  board  was  $2,876,194,  an  increase  of 
$320,249  over  last  year,  while  investment  income  of  $1,763,916  was 
$205,557  higher  than  the  previous  year.  The  tuition  increase  is  the  result 
of  management's  efforts  with  Board  approval,  to  establish  tuition  rate 
which  would  more  nearly  reflect  our  increase  in  numbers  of  multi- 
handicapped  children — our  rates  are  still  less  than  two-thirds  of  our  costs. 
Investment  income  benefited  from  increased  dividends  and  from  a  sub- 
stantial increase  in  short-term  interest  rates  which  may  well  be  of  a 
temporary  nature  and  should  not  be  counted  upon  for  the  future.  Total 
income  from  all  sources  including  Federal  grants  was  $5,631,005. 

Operating  expenses  of  $6,037,490  were  $308,383  higher  than  the  pre- 
vious year  which  includes  higher  salaries  for  our  staff  showing  an  increase 
of  $150,828. 

Expenses  for  the  year  exceeded  income  by  $406,485.  This  amount  was 
charged  $315,650  to  Unrestricted  Invested  Funds  and  $54,835  to  the 
principal  of  the  Deaf-Blind  Fund.  In  the  prior  year,  the  comparable  total 
deficit  was  $601,204. 

The  Howe  Press  sales  showed  an  increase  over  the  previous  year  due 
to  an  increase  in  prices.  Although  we  shipped  8685  Braillers,  about  100 
less  than  last  year,  dollars  sales  of  the  Perkins  Brailler  were  $1,588,836 
an  increase  of  $21 1,000  from  last  year.  Costs  were  increased  also,  resulting 
in  a  net  operating  income  of  $57,561.  Income  from  its  endowment  was 
$9,234  so  that  the  Press  had  an  excess  of  income  over  expenses  of  $66,795 
for  the  year. 

Respectfully  submitted,

INDEPENDENT  CERTIFIED  PUBLIC 
ACCOUNTANTS'  REPORT 


To  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind: 

We  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  as  of 
August  31,  1979,  the  related  condensed  statement  of  current  funds  expenditures 
and  resources  used  to  meet  expenditures,  statement  of  income  and  expense  of 
The  Howe  Press  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  and  summary  of  changes  in 
fund  balances  for  the  year  then  ended.  Our  examination  was  made  in  accordance 
with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  and,  accordingly,  included  such  tests 
of  the  accounting  records  and  such  other  auditing  procedures  as  we  considered 
necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We  previously  examined  and  reported  upon  the 
1978  financial  statements  of  the  School  which  are  included  in  condensed  form 
for  comparative  purposes  only. 

When  legacies  received  are  unrestricted  as  to  principal,  the  School  does  not 
consider  them  as  current  funds  resources  but  adds  them  directly  to  funds 
functioning  as  endowments  as  reflected  in  the  statement  of  changes  in  fund  balances. 

In  our  opinion,  except  that  legacies  unrestricted  as  to  principal  have  not 
been  reflected  as  current  funds  resources,  the  aforementioned  financial  state- 
ments present  fairly  the  financial  position  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  at 
August  31,  1979,  its  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  used  to  meet  ex- 
penditures, the  income  and  expense  of  The  Howe  Press  of  Perkins  School  for  the 
Blind  and  the  changes  in  its  fund  balances  for  the  year  then  ended  in  conformity 
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  applied  on  a  basis  consistent  with 
that  of  the  preceding  year. 

The  financial  statements  referred  to  in  the  foregoing  opinion  are  set  forth  on 
pages  72-79,  inclusive,  of  this  report.  Our  examination  was  made  primarily  for  the 
purpose  of  rendering  an  opinion  on  these  basic  financial  statements,  taken  as  a 
whole.  The  other  data  included  in  this  report  on  pages  80-88,  although  not  con- 
sidered necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of  financial  position,  current  funds 
expenditures  and  resources  and  changes  in  fund  balances,  are  presented  primarily 
for  supplemental  analysis  purposes.  This  additional  information  has  been 
subjected  to  the  audit  procedures  applied  in  the  examination  of  the  basic  financial 
statements  and,  in  our  opinion,  is  fairly  stated  in  all  material  respects  in  relation 
to  the  basic  financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.

78  148th  Annual  Report 

NOTES  TO  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS 

A.  Significant  Accounting  Policies: 

1.  In  order  to  ensure  observance  of  limitations  and  restrictions  placed  on  the 
use  of  the  resources  available  to  the  School,  the  accounts  of  the  School  are 
maintained  in  accordance  with  the  principles  of  "fund  accounting."  This  is 
the  procedure  by  which  resources  for  various  purposes  are  classified  into 
funds  that  are  in  accordance  with  activities  or  objectives  specified.  The  con- 
densed statement  of  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  used  to  meet 
expenditures  is  a  statement  of  financial  activities  of  current  funds  related  to 
the  current  reporting  periods.  It  does  not  purport  to  present  the  results  of 
operations  or  the  net  income  or  loss  for  the  period  as  would  a  statement  of 
income  or  a  statement  of  revenues  and  expenses. 

2.  Investments  are  reported  at  their  fair  market  value.  These  assets,  except  for 
special  investments  of  restricted  endowments,  are  pooled  for  investment  pur- 
poses. Income  earned  on  pooled  investments  is  allocated  to  the  participating 
funds  by  the  unit  share  method  (based  on  market  values). 

3.  A  provision  of  $  144,000  has  been  charged  to  the  current  funds  and  accumu- 
lated in  the  reserve  for  maintenance  and  replacements  fund.  Significant 
maintenance  costs  are  applied  against  this  reserve. 

4.  Depreciation  expense  relating  to  the  building  improvements,  machinery 
and  equipment  of  The  Howe  Press  is  computed  on  the  straight-line  basis 
using  the  following  useful  lives: 

Automobiles  5  years 

Building  improvements  40  years 

Machinery  and  equipment  10  years 

5.  Under  a  group  annuity  contract  administered  by  the  Equitable  Life 
Assurance  Society  of  the  United  States,  the  School  makes  contributions 
toward  the  purchase  of  annuities  for  its  employees.  The  total  assets  of 
the  plan  as  of  September  1,  1978  ($3,404,174)  exceeds  the  total  value  of  the 
vested  accrued  annuities  as  of  the  most  recent  valuation  date  ($3,050,125). 
Total  cost  of  the  contract  and  supplemental  payments  charged  to  ex- 
penditures   amounted    to    $296,737    in    1979    and    $301,526    in    1978. 

6.  Certain  reclassifications  of  amounts  previously  reported  have  been  made  to 
enhance  comparability  of  the  financial  statements. 

B.  Investments: 


At  August  31,  1979,  investments  were  as  follows:

$1,813,240  $24,260        $662,294 

C.     Federal  Grants: 


The  School  acts  as  the  Coordinator  for  the  New  England  Regional  Center  for 
Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Children.  As  such,  it  receives  funds  from  federal 
grants  to  support  programs  carried  out  by  Perkins  School  as  well  as  by  other 
participating  agencies.  Federal  grants  received  include  all  funds  for  the 
Regional  Center;  federal  grants  disbursed  are  principally  funds  remitted  to

D.     Commitments: 


The  School  is  in  the  process  of  modifying  certain  of  its  facilities  to  be  in 
accordance  with  new  State  Building  Codes.  During  1979  payments  and 
obligations  of  approximately  $375,000  were  made  for  this  purpose.  Ad- 
ditional payments  for  this  purpose  are  estimated  at  approximately  $4,600,000 
over  the  next  five  years.

THE   PERKINS  ENDOWMENT 

The  Perkins  Program  as  it  has  developed  and  been  maintained  for  our 
one  hundred  and  forty  eight  years  has  relied  upon  a  growing  endow- 
ment at  every  step  along  the  way. 

It  has  been  of  particular  value  in  times  of  economic  uncertainty  like 
the  present  when  public  agencies  are  forced  to  economize  and  look  to 
private  agencies  to  carry  a  maximum  share  of  the  cost  of  their  services. 

The  needs  of  the  handicapped  take  no  note  of  these  fluctuations  in 
the  economy,  or  changes  in  social  attitudes.  Consequently  they  must  be 
met,  year  in  and  year  out,  regardless  of  cost. 

All  the  facilities  we  possess  have  grown  from  small  beginnings.  Our 
activity  is  full  of  "firsts" — first  success  with  deaf-blind;  first  blind  gradu- 
ate to  college;  first  kindergarten;  first  teacher  training  courses,  both  for 
teachers  of  the  blind  and  teachers  of  the  deaf-blind;  first  in  physical  ther- 
apy and  speech  correction;  and  first  in  parent  counseling  for  blind  boys 
and  girls. 

And  we  continue  to  grow  with  the  development  and  expansion  of  re- 
ality based  programs  to  meet  the  needs  of  our  multi-impaired  students 
and  young  adults. 

One  asset  has  made  innovative  programming  possible.  This  is  our 
endowment. 

Every  new  departure  in  education  requires  money  that  has  not  been 
assigned  to  other  purposes.  Usually  it  is  a  small  sum  to  get  a  new  plan 
into  operation.  As  we  look  back  over  our  records  we  can  see  how  little  it 
took  Dr.  Howe  to  teach  Laura  Bridgman.  The  first  of  our  kindergarten 
cottages  in  Jamaica  Plain  cost  Michael  Anagnos  a  relatively  small  sum. 
Dr.  Allen  began  to  train  teachers  at  virtually  no  cost  to  the  school  at  all. 

So  it  has  been  with  each  forward  step.  On  each  occasion  the  extra- 
budgetary  funds  were  available.  No  appropriations  committee  had  to  be 
persuaded  that  what  was  considered  good  enough  for  their  generation 
was  not  good  enough  for  the  next.  Our  trustees,  who  since  our  founding 
have  invariably  welcomed  the  next  step  forward,  put  things  into  motion 
each  time. 

None  of  these  programs  has  remained  small.  Our  psychological  ser- 
vices have  expanded  many  times  as  have  other  areas  such  as  industrial 
education,  orientation  and  mobility,  career  education,  the  Adult  Services, 
and  Deaf-Blind  Programs. 

Endowments  which  are  adequate  to  put  a  program  into  effect  are 
rarely  sufficient  to  keep  it  going.  As  with  every  private  school  and  college 
that  is  keeping  abreast — or  ahead — of  the  times,  Perkins  needs  to  see  its 
endowment  grow.  Through  bequests  and  donations,  and  through  a  few 
government  grants,  we  have  been  able  to  expand  existing  services  and 
add  new  ones  as  needed.  We  are  confident  that  our  friends  will  continue 
to  support  us  in  ever  increasing  amounts.

The  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  admits  students  and  clients  of  any  race, 
color,  national  and  ethnic  origin  to  all  the  rights,  privileges,  programs,  and 
activities  generally  accorded  or  made  available  to  students  at  the  school.  It 
does  not  discriminate  on  the  basis  of  race,  color,  national  or  ethnic  origin  in 
the  administration  of  its  educational  policies,  admissions  policies, 
scholarship  and  loan  programs,  and  athletic  and  other  school-administered 
programs.

Report  of  the  Director 


Perkins  in  the  1980's  bears  more  resemblance  to  Perkins  in  the  1960's  from 
an  architectural  perspective  than  it  does  from  a  program  point  of  view. 
Yet  even  from  an  architectural  viewpoint  there  are  additions  and  changes.  In 
the  early  1970's  two  substantial  new  buildings  were  built,  adding  to  the 
program  space  basically  built  in  the  early  1900's. 

It  is  a  tribute  to  the  recent  directors  of  Perkins  and  members  of  the 
board  of  trustees,  with  the  backing  of  the  corporation,  that  a  quality  physical 
plant  was  built  and  maintained.  However,  in  my  opinion  it  is  an  even  greater 
credit  that  a  flexible  program  structure  has  been  maintained,  making  it 
possible  to  be  responsive  during  changing  times. 

During  the  past  three  years  there  has  been  a  concentration  on  changing 
and  structuring  programs  to  meet  the  needs  as  we  perceive  them  to  be  in  the 
1980  decade. 

My  report  given  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  corporation  in  many  ways 
paralleled  that  of  the  president  as  I  spoke  on  many  of  the  same  points, 
expanding  as  needed,  to  more  fully  inform  members  of  some  of  the  major 
thrusts  made  during  the  fiscal  year  ending  August  31,  1980,  and  informing 
them  how  we  are  changing  and/  or  meeting  the  challenges  of  the  times. 


6  149th  Annual  Report 

Financial  Management 

In  the  matter  of  finances  we  are  still  concerned  about  deficit  spending. 
There  are  several  ramifications  of  what  is  happening  and  what  we  are  doing 
about  it. 

Among  other  things,  the  doubling  of  the  cost  of  fuel  oil  this  past  year 
eliminated  any  hope  of  ending  the  year  under  budget. 

There  are  some  positive  things  that  are  happening.  The  change  in  the 
Financial  Office  has  already  led  to  the  computerization  of  the  payroll, 
personnel  information  and  an  accrual  system  for  accounting  for  our 
accounts  payable.  We  will  soon  have  the  entire  1980-81  budget  in  the 
computer.  The  advantage  of  this  is  that  we  will  be  able  to  monitor  expenses 
closely  on  a  monthly  basis.  This  coming  year  a  new  sub-committee  of  the 
finance  committee  will  be  discussing  the  setting  of  goals  designed  to  lead  to 
the  elimination  of  a  deficit  spending.  As  a  package,  it  should  contain  some  of 
the  following:  (1)  increased  tuition;  (2)  careful  budgeting;  (3)  increased 
earning  from  endowment;  (4)  increased  gifts  and  grants. 

A  grant  from  the  Massachusetts  Office  of  Energy  will  allow  us  to  spend 
$690,458  to  insulate  most  of  our  buildings,  purchase  and  install  storm 
windows  over  most  of  the  campus,  drastically  alter  our  heating  plant,  and 
install  mechanical  controls  and  thermostats  that  will  allow  us,  for  the  first 
time,  to  eliminate  waste  of  heat  at  times  when  our  buildings  are  not  occupied. 
We  will  be  increasing  our  exterior  lighting  while  decreasing  the  kilowatts 
used.  We  do  not  have  a  very  energy-efficient  physical  plant.  Our  goal  is  to 
change  the  physical  plant  to  one  that  is  energy-efficient. 

In  order  to  adequately  serve  students  and  clients  with  multiple  impair- 
ments, we  have  increased  the  Clinical  Services  staff.  In  order  to  retain  staff 
we  have  tried  to  offer  the  best  salaries  we  can,  and  on  the  average  we  are  in 
the  medium  to  low  medium  range  when  looking  at  neighboring  schools. 

Raising  tuition  is  looked  at  as  a  way  of  increasing  income,  and  tuition 
was  raised  each  of  the  past  two  years.  However,  increasing  tuition  can  also 
reduce  enrollment  as  we  weigh  each  increase  carefully. 

You  may  be  aware  of  the  Development  Office  and  the  fact  that  this  is  a 
new  area  of  activity  for  Perkins.  Small  grants  have  been  received  as  a  result  of 
the  efforts  of  this  office  and,  likewise,  some  substantial  gifts.  These  are  used 
to  purchase  equipment  and  meet  program  expenses  allowing  us  to  cover 
some  items  in  our  budget  in  this  manner. 

Program  Expansion 

We  are  currently  involved  in  two  federal  grant  programs.  The  first  one  is 
for  the  Perkins  Infant-Toddler  Program,  0-3,  a  home-centered  early- 
intervention  model  to  provide  intensive  program  support  and  instruction  to 
visually  handicapped/ multi-handicapped  children,  birth-3  years  and  their 
parents  in  Massachusetts. 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  7 

The  second  one  is  for  the  purpose  of  developing  a  successful  innovative 
vocational  model  for  deaf-blind  youth  which  can  be  transferred  and  repli- 
cated elsewhere;  strengthening  the  system  of  cooperation  and  coordination 
with  local  and  state  education  agencies,  vocational  rehabilitation  agencies, 
parents  and  other  advocates  for  consultation  and  planning;  developing  a 
vocational  curriculum;  designing  and  implementing  an  intensive  in-service 
training  program;  and  generating  new  levels  of  vocational  self-expectation 
for  deaf-blind  youth,  expanding  their  social  and  vocational  opportunities. 

These  two  grants  strengthen  our  efforts  on  the  lower  and  upper  age 
levels  of  our  present  programs.  We  are  an  agency  providing  services  from 
birth  through  adult  years. 

We  are  currently  in  the  process  of  responding  to  the  need  for  expanded 
community  residence  training,  and  the  establishment  of  long-term  care 
facilities.  Coupled  with  this,  we  are  exploring  increased  vocational  and 
avocational  opportunities  with  a  particular  emphasis  for  the  multi-impaired, 
utilizing  existing  work  settings  where  clients  can  be  integrated  with  a  non- 
handicapped  work  force. 

The  demands  on  our  evaluation  services  have  increased  substantially, 
and  there  are  indications  we  need  to  open  a  unit  for  the  more  severely 
impaired.  Potter  Cottage,  which  is  vacant,  is  being  considered  for  this 
purpose. 

Additional  Clinical  Services  staff  enables  us  to  accept  students  in  need 
of  closely  monitored  intensive  programs. 

An  interdisciplinary  team  approach  is  used  in  each  of  our  programs. 
Parents  are  involved  in  the  development  of  individual  education  plans;  and 
in  the  Adult  Services  Program,  clients  are  involved  in  the  development  of 
individual  service  plans.  Perkins  in  reality  is  a  therapeutic  community  with  a 
great  deal  of  student,  parent,  and  client  involvement. 

The  Preschool  Program  has  a  schedule  of  weekly,  bi-weekly,  and 
monthly  opportunities  for  parents  to  become  involved  in  the  program  and 
training  of  their  children.  The  Infant-Toddler  Grant  will  involve  some  of  the 
same  Preschool  Program  staff.  The  Primary  and  Intermediate  Program  is 
making  good  gains,  and  finds  itself,  as  with  all  other  programs,  housed  in 
safer  quarters  following  the  installation  of  additional  fire  doors  and  exits. 
The  Junior/  Senior  High  Program  and  Special  Programs,  through  close 
cooperation,  are  emerging  into  a  single  secondary-level  educational  pro- 
gram. The  Deaf-Blind  Program  and  Adult  Services  Program  each  has 
unique  accomplishments  to  claim  this  past  year. 


New  Publications 

In  addition  to  the  aids,  appliances,  and  curricula  developed  and  sold  by 
Perkins,  we  have  produced  and  are  now  marketing  the  Perkins- Binet  Tests 


8  149th  Annual  Report 

of  Intelligence  for  the  Blind.  This  test  kit,  developed  by  Carl  J.  Davis  of  our 
Clinical  Services  staff,  and  colleagues,  is  in  wide  demand. 

An  exciting  new  publication  describing  what  students  feel  professionals 
and  others  should  know  about  some  aspects  of  programming  for  students 
with  motor  problems  is  now  in  print.  The  most  exciting  thing  about  this 
informative  and  very  attractive  publication  is  the  fact  that  the  text  was 
student  written.  The  title  is  Understanding  Our  Movement  Problems. 

Certain  of  our  facilities,  such  as  auditoriums,  meeting  rooms,  and  the 
swimming  pool,  are  being  made  available  to  other  agencies  on  a  small  fee 
basis.  This  produces  a  limited  amount  of  income,  although  not  enough  to 
help  very  much  in  reducing  our  deficit.  Of  greater  importance  is  the  help 
rendered  to  other  agencies  who  do  not  have  comparable  facilitites.  This  also 
gives  other  agency  personnel  a  look  inside  of  what,  I  think,  is  a  dynamic 
agency  on  the  move. 


Safety  and  Construction  Projects 

All  of  our  cottages,  and  at  least  the  first  floor  of  every  building,  has  one 
or  more  entrance  ramps.  We  have  13  cottages  which  have  more  than  one 
level  used  by  students  and  clients.  Six  of  these  are  now  serviced  by  elevators. 
Our  fire  alarm  system  has  demonstrated  a  degree  of  sensitivity  that  can  detect 
cigarette  smoking  in  a  stairwell,  toast  burning  in  the  dining  room,  dust 
stirring  in  the  attic,  and  water  leaking  into  a  ceiling. 

Our  remaining  structural  needs  are  primarily  related  to  accessibility 
rather  than  fire  and  safety.  We  need  to  build  ramps  to  the  Health  Center,  the 
front  and  west  entries  of  the  Howe  Building,  and  to  develop  a  plan  to  make 
the  upper  and  lower  levels  of  the  Howe  Building  accessible  to  the  orthopedi- 
cally  impaired.  The  major  challenge  will  be  gaining  reasonable  access  to  the 
physical  education  facilities  within  the  Howe  Building. 

In  attempting  to  develop  a  new  Regional  Library  we  will  be  looking  for 
construction  grants  or  gifts.  The  plan  is  for  a  communication  service  center 
concept  rather  than  a  library  per  se.  A  model  has  been  created  that  considers 
the  Perkins  fallout  shelter  as  a  new  energy  efficient  location  with  three  times 
the  current  library  space. 

Much  of  what  we  have  done  this  year  appears  to  be  fragmented  starts  in 
a  lot  of  important  directions.  The  challenge  for  the  coming  year  (1980-81) 
will  be  to  bring  much  of  this  into  fruition  and  to  develop  an  operational 
pattern  that  will  enable  us  to  provide  the  greatest  possible  service  in  the  next 
few  years  as  we  continue  to  grow  and  change.

Each  program  supervisor  has  a  good  grasp  in  his  or  her  area  of  responsi- 
bility. The  following  excerpts  are  from  their  reports: 

A  comprehensive  program  for  visually  handicapped  infants,  pre- 
school children  and  their  parents  was  begun  during  the  1979-80  school 
year.  Children  were  enrolled  in  a  daily  nursery  school  program  located 
in  a  former  residence  house  on  the  campus.  The  "classrooms"  consisted 
of  a  kitchen,  living-dining  area,  bedroom,  and  playroom.  In  addition 
to  establishing  the  nursery  school  program,  home  teaching  and  coordi- 
nated services  were  provided  for  the  families  of  the  children.  A  limited 
number  of  visually  handicapped  infants  also  received  home-teaching 
services  from  the  preschool  staff. 

Pupil  evaluations  and  support  services,  including  social  work, 
speech  therapy  and  physical  therapy,  were  arranged  through  the  Per- 
kins Clinical  Services. 

In  addition  to  establishing  the  Preschool  Program,  a  proposal  was 
submitted  to  the  federal  Office  of  Special  Education  to  provide  service 
for  infants  from  birth  to  age  3.  The  Perkins  Infant  Toddler  Program 
0-3  will  begin  during  the  1980-81  school  year.  Ten  children  and  their 
parents  will  be  served. 

During  the  summer  a  four-week  preschool  program  was  offered  at 
Perkins  which  focused  on  developmental  goals.  Activities  included 
many  community  field  experiences  plus  a  camping  experience  in  Weld, 
Maine.  The  latter  was  made  possible  through  cooperative  efforts  with 
the  Christian  Braille  Association.  Five  children,  each  with  an  adult 
member  of  his/her  family,  and  a  brother  or  sister  participated. 

Additional  components  and  services  will  be  added  to  meet  the 
needs  of  preschool  children  and  parents  as  the  program  develops.

The  Primary  and  Intermediate  Program  has  had  several  changes 
during  this  past  year.  Most  significant  were  the  addition  of  a  parent 
support  group  and  schedule  changes  for  the  houseparent  staff.  The 
newly  formed  parents  group  met  monthly  for  mutual  support  and 
socialization.  A  picnic  was  held  at  the  end  of  the  year  for  parents  and 
students  with  over  sixty  people  attending.  In  addition  to  the  parents' 
group,  the  Program  has  initiated  two  week-long  Open  Houses  for 
parents  which  are  held  in  the  fall  and  spring. 

Houseparents,  who  in  the  past  had  to  work  split  shifts,  are  now 
working  straight  shifts  in  either  the  morning  and  afternoon,  or  after- 


10  149th  Annual  Report 

noon  and  evening  time  periods.  As  a  major  factor  in  this  change,  assistant 
houseparents  now  work  as  aides  in  the  classroom.  This  provides  an  oppor- 
tunity for  strong,  positive  communication  between  the  cottage  and  the 
school. 

Since  the  population  has  included  more  multiply  impaired,  the  Clinical 
Services  staff  has  increased  and  additional  therapies  are  now  available  on  a 
direct  service  and  consultation  basis. 

June  1980  marked  the  tenth  anniversary  of  our  annual  week-long  visit 
to  the  Cape  Cod  National  Seashore.  This  visit  for  the  students  continues  to 
be  a  most  valuable  culmination  of  the  year's  activities.  While  exploring  the 
environment  and  learning  about  our  ecological  system,  students  also  use  the 
cooking,  self-help  and  socialization  skills  that  they  have  learned  during  the 
year. 

A  summer  session  was  successfully  completed  during  the  past  year. 
Twelve  Perkins  students  attended  the  five  week  program  and  enjoyed  a  wide 
variety  of  educational  and  recreational  activities.

Two  programs  comprise  the  services  for  visually  handicapped  and 
multi-handicapped  students  from  ages  of  13-22  at  Perkins.  These  two  pro- 
grams, Junior/ Senior  High  Program  and  Special  Programs,  are  working 
closely  together  to  provide  a  continuum  of  services  at  the  secondary  level, 
and  to  prepare  students  for  a  variety  of  work  or  school  settings. 

The  curriculum  within  each  program  will  be  examined  to  determine 
how  it  can  be  integrated  into  a  unified  curriculum  balanced  in  the  areas 
of  independent  living  skills,  prevocational  and  vocational  training,  and  aca- 
demic course  work.  A  secondary  student's  program  will  be  individualized  as 
appropriate,  and  necessary  support  services  will  be  included. 

Julie  Solomon  and  Cynthia  F.  Essex 

The  Deaf-Blind  Program  has  served  sixty  students  for  the  past  year, 
most  of  whom  are  now  adolescents.  Consequently  the  curriculum  includes  a 
strong  emphasis  upon  daily  living  skills,  prevocational  training,  and  continu- 
ing academic  education.  The  curriculum  is  taught  jointly  by  both  classroom 
and  cottage  staff,  working  in  a  coordinated  effort  toward  teaching  indepen- 
dence. Especially  unique  facets  of  the  program  include:  a  variety  of  program 
options,  special  diagnostic  and  evaluation  services,  specific  academic  curric- 
ula, prevocational  assessment  and  training,  and  service  to  students  function- 
ing on  a  wide  range  of  levels. 

The  most  recent  development  within  the  Deaf-Blind  Program  has  been 
the  acquisition  of  a  three-year  federal  grant  to  develop  a  model  vocational 
program  for  this  population.  Emphasis  of  the  grant  will  be  upon  develop- 
ment of  actual  community-based  work  experiences  for  the  deaf-blind  popu- 
lation.

The  Adult  Services  Program  has  concentrated  on  the  task  of  providing 
more  specialized  and  comprehensive  services  to  the  wide  variety  of  clients 
being  served.  This  has  been  done  in  several  ways:  specialization  of  staff  into 
two  teams  which  meet  on  a  regular  basis  and  work  with  the  small  groups  of 
our  clients;  increased  use  of  the  apartments  in  the  Northeast  Building  for 
independent  living  skills  training;  and  the  upgrading  of  professional  and 
paraprofessional  staff  through  in-service  training. 

Referrals  of  an  increased  number  of  multi-impaired  clients  continued 
during  the  year,  particularly  young  adults  with  severe  head  traumas.  These 
young  people  came  to  us  with  numerous  impairments,  and  we  have  observed 
some  remarkable  progress  with  most  of  them.  On-going  staff  training  has 
been  necessary  to  keep  up  with  the  complex  needs  of  these  clients  and  their 
families. 

In  the  area  of  vocational  training,  the  addition  of  the  position  of 
Assistant  Supervisor  has  resulted  in  a  variety  of  changes  in  existing  programs 
and  some  new  training  programs.  In  all  areas  specific  entry  criteria  have  been 
developed,  and  the  training  has  become  more  intensive.  Numerous  off  cam- 
pus work  experiences  have  been  obtained.  A  new  concept  has  been  devel- 
oped for  Perkins,  namely  that  of  sending  teachers  to  oversee  clients  and 
students  working  on  the  job.  We  have  had  a  very  successful  training  arrange- 
ment with  the  Papa  Gino's  restaurant  chain  following  this  plan.  A  number  of 
clients  and  students  are  referred  to  our  program  to  receive  joint  training  with 
this  particular  restaurant.  This  has  resulted  in  jobs  for  several  clients  complet- 
ing the  program. 

The  new  telephone  system  at  Perkins  has  created  interest  in  a  program 
to  train  receptionists.  This  is  currently  being  developed  and  promises  to  be 
quite  successful.

During  the  past  year  Clinical  Services  has  benefited  from  the  addition  of 
several  new  staff  members  in  order  to  meet  the  educational  and  habilitation 
needs  of  increasingly  multi-impaired  blind  and  deaf-blind  students  and 
clients  at  Perkins.  At  present,  a  psychologist  or  counselor  and  a  social 
worker  are  assigned  on  a  full-time  basis  to  each  of  the  educational  and 
rehabilitation  programs.  Other  clinical  specialists  are  assigned  to  each  pro- 
gram on  either  a  full  or  part  time  basis,  depending  on  the  needs  of  the 
students  in  any  given  program.  These  specialists  include  speech  and  language 
pathologists,  occupational  therapists,  physical  therapists,  behavior  manage- 
ment specialists,  educational  assessment  specialists,  and  an  audiologist.  This 
group  of  Clinical  Services  staff  works  in  close  cooperation  with  program 
supervisors,  teachers,  cottage  staff,  and  other  program  staff,  and  together 
represent  an  interdisciplinary  team  structure  for  service  delivery. 

Perkins  continues  to  provide  a  full  array  of  medical  services  through  a 
contract  agreement  with  General  Medical  Associates,  and  on  the  basis  of 
their  affiliations  can  refer  a  student  to  virtually  any  medical  specialist  not 


12  149th  Annual  Report 

directly  available  at  Perkins.  Dental  screenings  and  dental  referral  services 
are  also  provided. 

During  the  past  year,  Clinical  Services  staff  has  conducted  nearly  100 
comprehensive  diagnostic  evaluations  of  individuals  referred  to  Perkins  for 
recommendations  or  admission.  A  Supervisor  of  Evaluations  has  overseen 
the  evaluations  and  the  total  process  has  been  greatly  refined  to  the  extent 
that  it  is  possible  to  conduct  up  to  three  evaluations  per  week. 

The  combined  efforts  of  the  Coordinator  of  Clinical  Services  and  pro- 
gram supervisors  in  determining  the  training  needs  of  all  program  staff  have 
resulted  in  the  provision  of  greatly  increased  consultation  and  in-service 
training  opportunities.  Outreach  services  have  also  been  developed  in  which 
Clinical  Services  staff  members  are  often  called  upon  to  provide  "consulta- 
tion and  education"  services  to  community  agencies  and  schools.  Participa- 
tion in  workshops,  professional  conferences,  and  university  seminars  are 
deemed  important  for  the  continued  professional  development  of  all  staff 
members.

During  1979-1980  public  relations  activity  included  the  sending  out  of 
37  news  releases  describing  events  at  Perkins,  a  number  of  which  were 
covered  by  reporters  from  local  newspapers,  radio  and  television  stations. 
The  school  appeared  on  local  television  six  times  in  which  athletic,  academic, 
and  music  events  were  covered,  as  well  as  appearing  once  on  national 
television  on  ABC's  "Good  Morning  America"  show.  At  the  Helen  Keller 
Congress  in  June  1980  Perkins  displayed  an  exhibit  of  pictures  of  the  history 
of  the  school's  program  from  its  founding  to  the  present,  plus  a  display  of 
Perkins'  publications  and  curricula. 

The  principal  publication  developed  during  the  year  was  the  Perkins- 
Binet  Tests  of  Intelligence  for  the  Blind  by  Carl  J.  Davis  for  which  many 
orders  continue  to  be  received.  Another  publication  developed  was  Under- 
standing Our  Movement  Problems,  compiled  by  students  and  staff  from 
Special  Programs.  The  spring  edition  of  The  Lantern  featured  a  full  length 
article:  "Helen  Keller  at  Perkins"  by  Edward  J.  Waterhouse,  former  director. 

Included  in  the  teacher  training  class  were  four  foreign  students  from 
India,  Thailand,  and  Morocco  on  Perkins  scholarships.

A  major  thrust  over  the  past  fiscal  year  has  been  to  provide  quality  food 
and  service  to  the  students,  clients  and  staff  at  a  minimal  cost  in  an  ever 
escalating  economy.  With  close  to  100%  of  our  last  year's  staff  returning, 
rigid  inventory  controls,  and  an  innovative  issuing  procedure  which  pin- 
points cottage  cost,  we  are,  on  a  daily  basis,  accomplishing  this  goal.  As  time 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  13 

goes  on  many  refinements  will  be  structured  into  this  system  providing 
valuable  information  for  budgetary  purposes. 

Lincoln  Higgins 

A  new  accounting  system  has  been  designed  which  will  provide  manage- 
ment information  and  reflect  the  operations  of  both  Howe  Press  and  the 
school.  Accounting  personnel  reviewed  various  types  of  data  processing 
systems  and  services  and  selected  McDonnell  Douglas  Automation  Com- 
pany as  the  data  processing  vendor  for  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  and 
Howe  Press.  This  Company  has  a  hospital  oriented  data  processing  system 
with  over  1,000  health  care  clients.

The  major  effort  in  the  Development  Office  this  past  year  was  directed 
toward  reversing  the  downward  trend  of  the  Deaf-Blind  Fund  (Children  of 
the  Silent  Night).  This  was  accomplished  by  computerization  of  donor 
records  enabling  us  to  segment  solicitation  letters.  This  obviously  gave  the 
Fund  a  more  personal  approach,  and  was  the  major  reason  for  the  22% 
increase  over  the  previous  year. 

Special  efforts  were  also  made  in  connection  with  foundation  cultiva- 
tion, which  should  result  in  a  significant  increase  in  support  from  that  sector 
in  future  years. 

Henry  F.  Colt,  Jr. 

A  group  of  key  supervisory  staff  members  met  in  Falmouth  during  the 
past  year  to  work  out  personnel  policies  and  produced  some  recommenda- 
tions that  could  be  applied  to  an  employee's  handbook.  This  was  a  period 
of  long  hours  and  concentration  that  yielded  some  excellent  results.  From 
this  meeting  and  subsequent  workshops,  a  draft  of  personnel  policies  has 
been  prepared  and  presented  to  the  school's  attorney  for  review  and 
comment. 

In  keeping  with  the  school's  goal  to  improve  employee  benefits  and 
enhance  employee  relations,  a  dental  insurance  plan  for  employees  and  their 
families  was  implemented  on  September  1 ,  1980.  After  reviewing  a  variety  of 
proposals  and  comparing  the  advantages  of  each  plan  considered,  it  was 
decided  to  accept  the  plan  offered  by  the  Confederation  Life  Insurance 
Company.  This  is  the  same  company  that  has  written  our  group  life  and  long 
term  disability  policies.

This  past  year  has  been  one  of  both  challenge  and  opportunity.  The 
challenge  has  been  provided  by  the  National  Library  Service  for  the  Blind 


14  149th  Annual  Report 

and  Physically  Handicapped  (NLS)  in  its  request  to  all  Regional  Libraries 
that  they  recheck  all  reader  names  and  addresses  against  the  master  list 
provided  by  the  National  Library.  In  addition,  further  information  on  each 
individual  was  requested,  so  that  NLS  could  use  the  resulting  statistics  to 
provide  information  nationally  on  handicaps  and  reader  use.  Also,  the 
Massachusetts  Commission  for  the  Blind  in  the  past  13  months  has  sent  the 
names  of  4,500  potential  new  machine  receivers.  Not  all  of  these  individuals 
were,  or  became,  new  readers,  but  all  names  had  to  be  checked  against  our 
master  file  of  patrons  and  all  new  readers  required  the  creation  of  files  and  the 
provision  of  service. 

The  excitement  and  opportunity  for  the  library  was  the  request  of  the 
Massachusetts  Commission  for  the  Blind  (MCB)  that  Perkins  investigate 
and  provide  the  MCB  with  a  comprehensive  outline  of  a  Regional  Library 
with  a  list  of  requirements  needing  to  be  met  in  order  to  provide  Massachu- 
setts blind  and  physically  handicapped  persons  with  quality  library  service. 
Dr.  John  Best  was  hired  to  provide  a  preliminary  report  on  needs,  and  an 
architectural  model  was  built,  showing  the  feasibility  of  housing  the 
Regional  Library  within  the  Perkins  fallout  shelter.  In  addition,  an  advisory 
committee  composed  of  librarians,  NLS  consultants,  the  Director  of  Per- 
kins, the  Massachusetts  Comissioner  for  the  Blind,  and  consumers,  has  been 
meeting  and  has  already  begun  to  provide  the  framework  for  the  future 
library  service  and  composition.

The  major  thrust  in  Facilities  Management  during  the  1979-80  fiscal 
year  was  basic  maintenance  of  the  campus  and  other  Perkins  properties  and 
completion  of  a  number  of  work  projects.  In  the  area  of  general  construction 
the  major  project  was  the  conversion  of  the  boiler  to  low  pressure  steam  to 
effect  manpower  savings,  and  compliance  with  numerous  building  codes. 

Important  site  improvement  projects  on  campus  included:  placement  of 
a  new  fence  gate;  construction  of  speed  reduction  bumps  on  drives;  modifica- 
tion of  the  pond  fence;  construction  of  new  sidewalks  and  ramps;  and  the 
rebuilding  of  a  key  drive  intersection  to  insure  pedestrian  safety. 

Construction  projects  within  buildings  included  the  safety  project, 
phase  1  involving  the  construction  of  fire  exits,  ramps,  enclosure  and  widen- 
ing of  stairways;  and  installation  of  elevators.  Additional  projects  included 
construction  of  special  "time-out  rooms"  for  the  Deaf-Blind  Program;  com- 
pletion of  a  Finance  Office  suite,  modification  of  rooms  in  the  North  Build- 
ing for  the  Preschool  Program;  and  lock  changes  in  all  building  perimeters. 

Campus  and  building  maintenance  services  included  the  removal  of 
dead  trees  on  campus,  beginning  of  a  long  range  painting  program  and 
improvement  of  the  campus  parking  plan. 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  15 

In  addition  to  the  completion  of  these  projects,  a  special  in-service 
training  program  was  conducted  for  custodial  staff. 

In  the  area  of  energy  conservation,  an  engineering  energy  analysis 
was  conducted,  and  a  federal  energy  grant  was  received.  This  was  fol- 
lowed by  the  implementation  of  numerous  conservation  measures.

During  program  year  1979-1980,  the  New  England  Regional  Center 
for  Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Children  supported  27  programs  through 
monetary  and  technical  assistance  so  that  they  could  operate  special- 
ized programs  for  deaf-blind  students.  Funds  originated  from  the 
federal  Office  of  Special  Education  and  Rehabilitation  Services  under 
Public  Law  91-230  Title  VI-C.  The  Center  also  assisted  teaching  staff 
in  the  six  state  region  with  a  three-day  new  staff  workshop  and  with 
agency-based  training  sessions  on  behavior  and  on  low-functioning 
students.  A  newly  created  position,  that  of  Family  Services  Specialist, 
was  filled,  to  better  assist  parents  and  others  in  solving  problems  of 
obtaining  services,  dealing  with  stress,  and  developing  useful  infor- 
mation and  techniques.  A  parent  and  sibling  weekend  was  sponsored 
in  Amherst,  Massachusetts,  which  brought  many  families  of  deaf- 
blind  children  together  for  the  first  time.  Several  publications  were 
reprinted  for  use  in  conjunction  with  the  Center's  Resource  Library, 
which  is  in  continual  use  by  professionals,  students  and  administrators 
in  the  multi-handicapped  field.  Planning  meetings  were  held  with  state 
service  agencies  and  others,  to  help  promote  a  continuum  of  services 
after  education  funds  cease  at  age  21.

With  Perkins  programs  in  the  hands  of  supervisors  such  as  those  whose 
reports  are  summarized  in  the  preceding  paragraphs,  the  future  for  Perkins 
is  bright.

NEW  ENGLAND  REGIONAL  CENTER  FOR 
SERVICES  TO  DEAF-BLIND  CHILDREN  1980 

A  rubella  epidemic  in  1964-65  and  other  causes,  such  as  Usher's 
Syndrome,  have  resulted  in  the  existence  of  over  5000  children  and 
youths  in  the  United  States  who  either  at  birth  or  later  are  handicapped  by 
combined  visual  and  auditory  impairments.  Traditional  classes  for  blind  or 
for  deaf  children  were  not  attuned  to  educating  students  having  both 
conditions.  In  response  to  a  need  for  more  individual,  specialized  attention, 
Congress  amended  the  Elementary  and  Secondary  Education  Act  of  1968  to 
include  Title  VI-C,  which  provides  for  Centers  and  Services  for  Deaf-Blind 
Children.  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind,  as  the  sponsoring  agency  for  the  New 
England  Regional  Center  for  Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Children,  has  general 
contractual  responsibility  with  the  United  States  Department  of  Education, 
Office  of  Special  Education  and  Rehabilitation  Services  in  Wash- 
ington, D.C. 

Over  25  agencies  across  the  six-state  region  have  deaf-blind  programs 
for  a  total  of  250  children.  Many  of  these  receive  technical  and  supplemental 
financial  support  through  subcontracts  with  the  Regional  Center.  Primary 
educational  funding  arises  from  state,  local  and  other  sources.  Certain 
agencies  benefit  from  Regional  Center  teacher  workshops  and  other  training 
aids,  without  direct  subsidy.  The  staff  of  the  Center,  in  addition  to  its 
Coordinator,  includes  an  Educational  Consultant,  an  Administrative 
Consultant,  a  Vocational  and  Educational  Specialist,  and  a  Secretary.  A 
Family  Services  Specialist  joined  the  Center  in  March.  They  coordinate 
services,  develop  teaching  and  administrative  manuals  and  aids,  conduct 
workshops,  advocate  for  children  and  their  families,  and  monitor  funding 
according  to  federal  guidelines.  Also,  they  seek  diagnosis  and  evaluation 
where  needed,  consult  with  teachers  and  education  officials  who  have  direct 
roles  in  the  lives  of  deaf-blind  children,  evaluate  ongoing  education 
programs,  and  operate  a  resource  center  for  teachers,  students  and 
administrators. 

During  the  1979-80  program  year,  the  Regional  Center  administered 
almost  one  million  federally  provided  dollars  to  supplement  education 
services  for  deaf-blind  children  throughout  the  region. 

The  Center  sponsored  a  three-day  new  staff  workshop  for  teachers  in 
the  region,  and  agency-based  sessions  on  behavior  and  on  low-functioning 
students.  A  two-day  parents'  workshop  helped  parents  with  emotional  and 
advocacy  issues,  and  a  family  weekend  introduced  siblings  to  other  families 
in  similar  situations. 

Referrals  of  newly-discovered  deaf-blind  children  were  processed  for 
certifiability.  Appropriate  placements  were  sought  for  them. 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind

Requests  for  teacher  resource  materials  are  answered  daily,  based  on  a 
listing  that  was  circulated  across  the  country.  The  Center  circulated  copies  of 
the  Perkins  Sign  Language  Curricula  and  the  Daily  Living  Skills  Curriculum, 
and  reprinted  Skill  Tasks:  A  Handbook  of  Prevocational  Activities  which 
originated  in  the  Perkins  Oliver  Cottage  program.  Other  publications  in 
high  demand  are  reprinted  as  needed. 

Three  Regional  Advisory  Committee  meetings  were  held,  to  assist  in 
developing  directions  for  programming  and  to  ensure  participation  of 
professionals  in  planning  the  Center's  activities  for  the  year.  Additional 
regional  and  state  meetings  were  held  to  foster  the  planning  of  adult  services 
for  deaf-blind  youths  and  adults,  who  will  leave  the  Center's  financial 
umbrella  after  age  21. 

Three  issues  of  NEWS  .  .  .  About  Deaf-Blind  Student  Programs  and 
Services  in  New  England  were  published  and  sent  to  600  professionals  and 
parents.  In  addition,  the  Center  printed  and  distributed  four  issues  of  a 
parents'  newsletter  via  direct  mail  and  through  education  agencies. 

A  long-term  objective  of  the  Center  is  to  help  bridge  the  organizational 
and  funding  gap  which  separates  education  (21  and  under)  from  adult  service 
providers.  Recent  amendments  to  the  federal  rehabilitation  and  develop- 
mental disabilities  laws  provide  for  coverage  of  more  severely  handicapped 
citizens,  but  old  patterns,  conflicting  priorities,  and  lack  of  new  federal  funds 
hinder  smooth  progress  in  obtaining  service.  In  the  absence  of  national  or 
state  policies,  such  situations  are  now  solved  for  each  individual.  This  favors 
the  citizens  with  greater  levels  of  evident  potential  for  "work-like"  success 
and  hinders  referrals. 

The  second  year  of  a  five-year  extendable  contract  with  the  Office  of 
Special  Education  was  completed  on  June  30,  1980.  A  third  year  extension 
period  has  been  awarded,  to  cover  the  period  through  June  30,  1981.

20  149th  Annual  Report 

REPORT  OF  THE  PRESIDENT— 1979-1980 

First  I  want  to  welcome  new  members  to  the  corporation  and  thank 
them  for  their  interest  and  pledge  of  support  to  Perkins.  These  are  busy  days 
for  all  of  us  and  commitment  that  gives  us  a  portion  of  your  time  and  efforts 
is  greatly  appreciated.  I  have  on  the  wall  in  my  office  a  visible  symbol 
representative  of  Perkins,  and  it  prompts  questions  that  give  me  an 
opportunity  to  talk  about  a  subject  of  great  interest  to  me.  I  invite  you  to  do 
likewise  in  your  home,  office  or  place  of  business. 

My  report  today  speaks  briefly  to  several  areas. 

First,  finances:  The  school  continues  to  face  an  annual  deficit,  a  pattern 
which  started  in  1970-71 .  The  average  annual  deficit  over  the  past  three  years 
is  approximately  $683,000  with  the  most  recently  completed  year  being  the 
highest.  Only  because  of  generous  donations  have  we  been  able  to  keep  our 
invested  funds  from  diminishing.  Allowing  for  the  declining  value  of  the 
dollar  there  exists  a  need  to  increase  our  search  for  new  revenues  as  we  wish 
to  see  the  school  prosper  for  the  next  150  years  as  it  has  during  its  first 
century  and  one-half. 

Two  decisive  steps  were  taken  this  year  that  hopefully  will  relate 
positively  to  our  financial  situation.  The  first  we  reported  to  you  last  year. 
Henry  F.  Colt,  Jr.  was  hired  as  Development  Director.  In  the  first  year  of  the 
operation  the  Development  Office  has  placed  the  Children  of  the  Silent  Night 
campaign  on  an  upward  swing.  Requests  to  small  and  large  foundations 
have  opened  up  new  sources  of  income,  and  now  through  acquisition  mailing 
the  upgrading  of  our  mailing  list  has  begun.  In  the  near  future  this  office  will 
begin  to  more  than  pay  for  itself  and  new  income  should  be  evident. 

The  Finance  Committee  will  now  be  expanded  and  formed  into  two 
sub-committees — one  to  deal  primarily  with  investments,  and  one  to  assist 
in  the  budget  development  and  revision.  (As  a  matter  of  fact  this  has  already 
been  discussed  by  the  Executive  Committee  and  will  be  before  the  board  at 
their  December  meeting.) 

Energy  and  finances  cannot  be  separated.  Last  year  I  reported  to  you 
that  we  had  completed  an  energy  audit.  This  was  done  at  a  cost  to  us  of 
$23,328.  This  year  I  am  happy  to  report  that  we  have  received  a  grant  from 
the  Massachusetts  Office  of  Energy  in  the  amount  of  $400,731,  an  amount 
which  when  matched  by  Perkins  will  enable  us  to  implement  all  of  the 
recommendations  in  the  Energy  audit,  and  in  two  years'  time  expect  to  be 
paid  back  in  savings. 

We  have  continued  our  efforts  to  match  our  staff  with  our  changed 
population  and  to  continually  offer  improved  benefits.  We  have  received 
notification  that  two  grants  submitted  to  the  federal  government  by  Perkins 
have  been  awarded  and  approved  for  funding. 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  21 

Other  present  happenings  are  numerous.  We  are  nearly  finished  with 
our  2.2  million  dollar  fire,  safety  and  access  for  the  handicapped  renovation 
and  alteration  program.  Most  of  the  bills  are  paid  on  this  project  and  a  final 
inspection  will  take  place  soon. 

We  have  completed  a  study  of  the  library  services  at  Perkins, 
concentrating  on  the  Regional  Library  for  the  Blind  and  Physically 
Handicapped — one  of  50  such  libraries  in  the  United  States,  and  one  of  the 
oldest  ongoing.  A  commitment  from  the  current  commissioner  of  the 
Massachusetts  Commission  for  the  Blind  not  to  move  the  library  from 
Perkins  has  prompted  the  establishment  of  a  committee  to  relocate  and 
improve  library  services  on  the  Perkins  campus. 

At  the  Howe  Press,  we  are  in  the  production  and  publishing  business  as 
always.  Our  principal  product,  the  Perkins  Brailler,  is  still  selling  strong.  A 
new  visiting  committee  to  study  the  future  of  the  Howe  Press  will  bring 
renewed  vigor  to  bear  upon  the  future  of  the  Press. 

We  continue  to  celebrate  our  sesquicentennial  and  through  the 
publication  of  The  Lantern  call  attention  to  the  past,  present  and  future  of 
Perkins.  It  is  difficult  to  forecast  exactly  what  the  future  months  and  years 
will  hold  for  Perkins.  We  anticipate  that  with  our  willingness  to  change,  and 
respond  to  our  clients'  needs  means  work. 

There  are  three  types  of  people:  those  who  make  things  happen,  those 
who  watch  it  happen,  and  those  who  wonder  what's  happening.  We  will  be  a 
part  of  the  first  group. 

In  the  coming  year  it  is  hoped  that  the  development  movement  will 
continue  to  grow.  I  am  also  interested  in  working  with  the  Director  in  the 
creation  of  a  stronger  public  relations  unit,  separate  from  but  interacting 
with  the  Development  Office.  Currently  our  PR  function  is  partly  on  and 
partly  off-campus.  This  move  would  centralize  it  on  campus. 

I  look  forward  to  the  future  years  at  Perkins  and  guarantee  there  will  be 
further  changes,  greater  financial  accountability,  expansion  and  innovative 
planning. 

Regretfully  we  must  announce  the  death  of  several  members  of  our 
Corporation  and  one  of  our  trustees. 

Members  of  the  Corporation  who  are  no  longer  with  us  include: 

John  W.  Hallowell  William  A.  Parker 

Mrs.  William  Kennard  Frederick  Picard 

Louis  Leonard  Rt.  Rev.  Henry  Knox  Sherrill 

Each  of  these  persons  contributed  in  his  or  her  own  way  to  the  ongoing 
programs  of  Perkins,  and  their  combined  efforts  represent  an  enormous 
amount  of  dedicated  service,  and  a  challenge  to  those  of  us  who  continue  to 


22 


149th  Annual  Report 


serve  and  those  who  will  be  picking  up  the  reins  in  their  place. 

The  name  Hallowell,  for  example,  has  been  associated  with  Perkins 
since  1 898.  John  W.  Hallowell  served  as  a  trustee  from  1 969  until  his  death  in 
July  1980.  John  served  as  a  member  of  the  search  committee,  the  work  of 
which  brought  us  our  current  director.  His  gentle  manner  and  deep  concern 
for  the  education  of  children  made  him  a  valuable  member  of  our  board. 
John  will  be  missed  by  all  who  knew  him. 

In  spite  of  losses  we  suffer,  we  are  continually  renewed  by  the  dedication 
of  those  who  step  forward  to  offer  service.  Again  I  wish  to  recognize  those  of 
you  who  are  joining  us  as  trustees  and  incorporators  this  year.  We  all  look 
forward  to  a  bright  future  for  Perkins,  a  future  to  which  we  collectively  must 
dedicate  ourselves.

CLASS  OF  1980 

ELZIE  CORNELL  BABBS 

Cornell  was  born  in  Dora,  Florida  in  1959.  By  1964  the  family  had 
moved  to  Pittsfield,  Massachusetts  where  Cornell  entered  a  local  public 
school.  He  attended  there  until  he  came  to  Perkins  in  1970.  Of  his  lower 
school  experiences  Cornell  remembers  most  the  week  spent  on  Cape  Cod,  an 
annual  evenc  at  Perkins  which  is  designed  to  be  both  educational  and 
recreational. 

Since  the  seventh  grade  Cornell  has  led  an  active  school  life.  In  athletics 
he  earned  his  jacket  for  wrestling,  won  his  weight  class  in  the  1978  EAAB 
wrestling  tournament  and  has  won  two  wrestling  trophies.  In  track  he 
captured  two  trophies  for  outstanding  performance  in  student/ staff  meets. 
He  took  a  first  in  one-on-one  basketball  and  participated  in  Perkins'  first 
interscholastic  basketball  game  with  a  team  from  Maiden  High  School.  He  is 
also  a  good  bowler  and  placed  third  in  one-on-one  competition. 

Cornell  has  been  a  member  of  the  chorus  and  Chamber  Singers.  During 
his  five  years  with  the  Drama  Club  he  performed  in  Ten  Little  Indians,  The 
Bicentennial  Show  and  Kismet.  His  other  activities  include  being  a  navigator 
in  the  annual  Perkins  Road  Rally  where  he  placed  first.  He  also  participated 
in  many  rock  climbing  and  caving  expeditions  with  his  fellow  students. 

His  strengths  and  interests  have  been  in  woodworking,  sales,  and  chair 
caning.  Cornell's  immediate  goal  is  to  find  employment.  Later  he  may  attend 
college. 

Cornell's  qualities  of  leadership,  his  encouragement,  and  his  assistance 
to  his  fellow  students  will  be  long  remembered. 

RUTH  RAMSEY  KANE 

Ruth  was  born  in  1961  in  Newburyport,  Massachusetts.  She  now 
resides  in  Salisbury  Beach.  Before  coming  to  Perkins  this  year  she  attended 
Triton  Regional  High  School  in  Byfield. 

Ruth  loves  sports  and  for  six  years  played  ice  hockey.  She  is  a  "rough  it" 
type  who  enjoys  camping  and  hiking  expeditions  and  enjoys  being  alone. 

Ruth  is  a  collector  of  souvenirs,  shells,  postcards,  and  pictures,  with  the 
accent  on  sports — most  especially  the  Bruins.  Her  musical  tastes  run  to 
"mellow  rock";  and  being  fussy  about  sound,  she  looks  for  the  best  in  high 
fidelity  components. 

At  this  writing  Ruth  plans  to  attend  Northern  Essex  Community 
College,  after  which  she  would  like  to  become  an  assistant  to  a  veterinarian.

JOHN  JOSEPH  KOZACKI 

John,  a  native  of  Holyoke,  Massachusetts  was  born  in  1960.  He  came  to 
Perkins  in  1965.  His  program  in  lower  school  followed  the  usual  lines  with 
John  participating  in  the  many  activities  offered,  including  the  Boy  Scouts 
which  he  continued  in  upper  school  for  a  short  time. 

John's  athletic  talents  lay  in  self-development  as  afforded  in  the 
afterschool  workouts.  He  gave  track  a  try  but  found  few  rewards  there. 

John  is  an  avid  braille  reader  and  his  preference  is  for  current 
periodicals.  He  was  the  recipient  of  a  gift  of  a  Brailler  from  the  late  noted 
columnist,  Heloise.  His  Perkins  Brailler  has  performed  yeoman  service  in  his 
school  assignments  and  perhaps  will  be  instrumental  in  his  earning 
certification  as  a  braille  transcriber.  He  may  also  consider  working  for  a 
proofreader's  certificate.  John  has  always  given  extra  effort  to  his  academic 
program.  Home  and  personal  management  has  been  an  area  in  which  he  has 
done  well.  Cooking  is  his  special  forte  and  he  has  started  his  own  personal 
collection  of  recipes. 

Happy  diversions  for  "Koz"  his  friends'  appellation,  are  radio  talk 
shows  and  music. 

Beyond  graduation  John  will  be  investigating  work  opportunities  in  the 
Holyoke  area.  We  all  wish  him  the  very  best. 

TIMOTHY  LEARY 

Born  in  Fall  River,  Massachusetts  in  1959,  Tim  entered  the  Perkins 
kindergarten  in  1964.  In  lower  school,  Tim  remembers  especially  his  piano 
and  chorus  experiences.  It  was  in  the  primary  grades  that  he  joined  the 
Scouting  Program.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  lower  school  track  team.  A 
unique  distinction  for  Tim  is  that  he  was  the  first  pupil  to  be  given  mobility 
while  still  in  lower  school. 

In  upper  school  he  continued  all  the  above-mentioned  activities,  though 
he  eventually  left  the  Scout  Troop  to  join  the  Explorer  Post  where  he  has 
taken  part  in  many  exciting  expeditions,  including  last  year's  memorable  trip 
to  Florida  and  the  canoe  trip  down  the  Withlacoochee  River. 

For  athletics  Tim  played  baseball.  As  a  member  of  the  Radio  Club  he 
earned  his  novice  license  and  he  still  counts  amateur  radio  as  a  hobby.  He  has 
five  years  credit  in  the  Drama  Club  and  has  performed  in  all  Christmas 
shows,  The  Bicentennial  Show,  and  topped  it  off  this  year  with  a  stellar 
performance  in  Ten  Little  Indians.  As  a  valued  member  of  the  chorus  and 
Chamber  Singers  he  has  demonstrated  his  talents  in  Kismet,  Carousel,  TV 
Follies,  and  in  numerous  voice  and  piano  recitals.  In  this  year's  voice  recital 
he  gave  a  fine  rendition  of  an  aria  from  Verdi's  La  Traviata  in  Italian. 

Tim  will  return  next  year  to  obtain  his  piano  tuning  certificate,  and 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  45 

perhaps  after  that  go  on  to  college  to  enter  a  computer  science  program.  We 
look  forward  to  Tim's  returning  to  Perkins  and  seeing  that  winning  smile 
that  can  light  up  the  darkest  day. 

MARY  JOANNE  O'BRIEN 

Mary  was  born  in  Providence,  Rhode  Island  in  1961.  She  attended  the 
Meeting  Street  School  in  Providence,  The  Bradley  School  in  Riverside,  and 
the  Boston  Center  for  Blind  Children.  Her  initial  experience  at  Perkins  came 
when  she  enrolled  in  the  summer  school  program  in  1978  and  that  fall 
entered  here  as  a  junior. 

She  has  enjoyed  and  maintained  a  good  record  in  her  academic 
program,  but  she  feels  her  strengths  lie  in  the  area  of  work  activities.  In 
athletics  Mary  was  in  the  school  bowling  league  and  a  member  of  a  baseball 
team. 

For  hobbies  Mary  puts  together  scrapbooks,  keeps  a  journal,  and 
collects  antiques.  She  is  interested  in  drawing  and  many  of  her  sketches  have 
been  used  to  promote  school  activities;  but  above  all  she  still  rates  bowling  as 
her  favorite  pastime. 

Mary  likes  to  keep  busy  and  she  is  not  afraid  of  work.  She  has  had  part- 
time  employment  at  Howe  Press;  she  has  assisted  the  cook  in  Eliot  and 
Moulton  Cottages;  and  has  worked  with  the  custodian  in  the  school 
building. 

For  employment  after  school  Mary  is  considering  domestic  work  in  a 
private  home  or  residential  facility.  She  will  continue  recording  her  everyday 
experiences  in  her  journal  (there  are  now  six  volumes),  and  someday, 
perhaps,  she  will  have  it  published.  Mary  has  the  best  wishes  of  both  students 
and  staff  in  whatever  endeavors  she  undertakes. 

CLARINHA  DOS  ANJOS  LOURA  PIMENTEL 

Clarinha  was  born  on  the  island  of  Santa  Maria  in  the  Azores  in  1958. 
Six  years  later  found  her  stepping  through  our  doors  as  a  hopeful 
kindergartener.  Eagerly  she  joined  such  activities  as  Brownies,  Girl  Scouts, 
and  chorus. 

As  a  sixth  grade  pupil  she  was  a  charter  member  in  the  then  new  "Fisher 
Program"  in  the  upper  school. 

Last  year  found  Clarinha  in  Eliot  Cottage  as  a  member  of  the 
Junior/  Senior  High  Program.  Her  academic  subjects  were  supplemented 
with  industrial  and  prevocational  courses  in  daily  living  skills  which  have 
given  her  an  overall  well-rounded  program. 

As  a  hobbyist,  she  is  a  collector  and  her  specialty  is  mugs  from  different 
localities.  She  also  collects  music  tapes  and  records  with  the  accent  on  music 


46  149th  Annual  Report 

of  the  50's  and  60's.  Her  reading  interests  lean  toward  mysteries  and 
adventure. 

Clarinha  enjoys  helping  people.  She  likes  baby-sitting  and  at  one  time 
she  helped  in  the  care  of  a  lower  school  pupil.  She  enjoys  housework  and 
cooking  and  finds  pleasure  in  various  handcrafts. 

For  the  immediate  future  there  are  no  hard  and  fast  plans,  but  Clarinha 
is  thinking  of  some  type  of  office  work  such  as  copying,  collating,  and 
running  errands.  If  possible,  she  would  like  to  stay  close  to  home  in  Hudson, 
Massachusetts.  "But  I  am  prepared  for  anything  that  comes  along,"  she 
declares.  "I  will  always  remember  my  friends  and  hope  to  keep  in  touch  with 
them."  And  Clarinha's  friends  will  always  remember  her  as  a  warm,  loving, 
and  supportive  person  who  was  always  there  when  she  was  needed. 

RICHARD  WILLIAM  RASCHI 

A  native  of  Somerville,  Massachusetts  Richard  came  to  Perkins  in  1967. 
At  the  outset  he  made  his  presence  known  and  joined  all  the  music,  athletic, 
and  extracurricular  activities  available  in  the  lower  grades. 

In  his  first  year  in  junior  high,  Richard  achieved  varsity  status  on  the 
wrestling  and  track  teams.  Along  with  his  running  partner,  Edward 
Montanez,  he  won  the  tandem  mile  establishing  a  Perkins  record.  He  won 
his  jacket  for  track,  a  varsity  award,  and  has  accumulated  a  large  assortment 
of  letters.  In  intramural  sports  he  has  taken  a  second  place  in  basketball  and  a 
first  in  bowling.  He  has  captained  a  baseball  team  leading  it  to  top  spot  for 
two  years.  His  big  moment,  he  feels,  came  in  this  year's  EAAB  wrestling 
tournament  where  he  took  a  second  in  his  weight  class. 

As  an  entertainer  Richard  is  a  "natural."  He  has  proved  his  acting 
abilities  in  the  Drama  Club  since  the  seventh  grade.  He  is  a  veteran  of  the 
chorus  and  of  the  Chamber  Singers.  He  has  sung  solos  and  played  the  piano 
in  many  recitals.  He  has  had  major  roles  in  Carousel,  Kismet,  The 
Bicentennial  Show,  and  TV  Follies.  He  especially  scored  in  Night  of  January 
16th  and  Ten  Little  Indians. 

Richard  has  shown  his  leadership  in  many  ways.  He  has  been  President 
and  Vice-President  of  Student  Council  and  for  the  last  two  years  has  served 
as  President  of  the  Perkins  Athletic  Association. 

Now  it  is  job-seeking  time  with  Richard  looking  into  several 
possibilities.  Richard  displays  those  traits  that  are  most  highly  prized: 
kindness,  loyalty,  helpfulness,  respect,  and  commitment.  The  well  wishes  of 
all  go  with  him. 

CHARLES  ALAN  RICE 

Charles  was  born  in  Springfield,  Massachusetts  where  he  attended  the 
schools  of  that  city  until  entering  the  fourth  grade  at  Perkins.  At  the  outset 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  47 

Charles  "dived  in"  with  great  enthusiasm.  In  lower  school  he  joined  the  Boy 
Scouts  and  was  on  both  the  wrestling  and  the  track  teams. 

In  both  junior  and  senior  high  his  athletic  record  was  impressive.  In 
wrestling  he  earned  his  jacket  and  won  an  outstanding  wrestling  award  in  the 
Perkins  Invitational  meet  in  1978.  In  track,  basketball,  and  baseball  he  has 
garnered  his  share  of  letters. 

Four  years  of  Drama  Club  culminated  with  a  fine  performance  in  Ten 
Little  Indians.  He  was  also  in  The  Bicentennial  Show  and  had  a  speaking  role 
in  Carousel. 

Charles  has  always  demonstrated  a  deep  concern  for  his  fellow  students 
and  the  quality  of  school  life.  It  has  led  him  to  seek  and  obtain  elective  office, 
and  while  he  may  hold  a  record  for  times  elected,  the  performance  rating  of 
that  leadership  is  what  is  of  most  importance.  He  was  Vice-President  of  the 
Drama  Club,  but  his  significant  achievement  was  his  four  year  involvement 
with  Student  Council  as  Cottage  Representative,  Vice-President  and 
President. 

He  has  held  a  variety  of  jobs  including  child  care  and  working  in  a  fast- 
food  restaurant,  where  he  is  presently  employed. 

Other  interests  for  Charles  include  writing  and  running  for  personal 
pleasure. 

Charles  will  continue  working  until  fall  when  he  will  enter  Bunker  Hill 
Community  College  where  he  plans  to  major  in  hotel  management. 


EDRIC  CARRINGTON  RICHARDS 

Edric's  introduction  to  Perkins  came  in  the  summer  of  1979.  He  liked 
what  he  saw  and  joined  the  senior  class  in  the  fall.  Born  in  Stoneham, 
Massachusetts  in  1961,  he  attended  the  Medford  public  schools  before 
coming  to  Perkins.  Since  his  ties  to  Medford  High  are  very  strong,  he  will 
have  the  novel  experience  of  a  double  graduation. 

Edric  has  varied  interests.  He  has  played  basketball  and  baseball 
informally  (he  calls  it  "the  pick-up  variety").  He  enjoys  woodworking  and 
has  made  many  items  for  his  family  and  friends.  Traveling  fascinates  him, 
and  he  has  toured  extensively  in  the  mid-Atlantic  and  southern  states.  "I  like 
to  read  both  fiction  and  nonfiction,"  he  says,  "as  long  as  it  is  interesting." 

Edric's  most  favorable  impression  of  Perkins  has  been  the 
individualized  programming  and  attention  given  to  each  pupil.  He  feels  that 
this  has  made  it  possible  for  him  to  plan  for  college  where  he  would  like  to 
major  in  political  science  and  law. 

Edric  displays  a  feeling  of  confidence  in  himself  which  has  grown 
throughout  the  year.  Coupled  to  this  is  a  strong  determination  to  succeed.  He 
will  be  fondly  remembered  by  the  staff  and  students  with  whom  he  came  in 
contact.

STEVEN  CRAIG  SLOTNICK 

Steve  is  one  of  many  pupils  who  have  come  to  Perkins  from  New  Jersey. 
Since  joining  his  classmates  in  the  eighth  grade,  he  has  made  a  place  for 
himself  here  and  cemented  many  friendships  which  he  hopes  to  continue 
beyond  graduation. 

Steve  was  born  in  1960  in  Paterson,  New  Jersey  where  his  early 
schooling  took  place. 

Steve  has  supplemented  his  academic  program  with  some  athletics: 
baseball,  basketball,  and  bowling.  For  a  short  time  he  took  piano  lessons.  He 
also  found  the  work  activities  program  very  rewarding. 

While  many  weekend  recreational  activities  are  planned  for  students, 
Steve,  who  has  a  social  sense,  desired  to  plan  many  events  for  himself  and  his 
friends.  His  other  interests  include  record  collecting  and  reading.  As  a  serious 
recordist  he  has  amassed  an  impressive  cassette  library  of  popular  music  of 
the  50's  and  60's,  country  music  and  Portuguese  music. 

He  looks  forward  to  the  more  serious  challenges  ahead  and  we  know  he 
will  face  them  with  the  determination  he  demonstrated  in  his  years  with  us. 
After  graduation  Steve  will  return  to  New  Jersey  where  he  will  probably 
enter  a  vocational  rehabilitation  program.  He  plans  to  investigate  both  food 
service  and  office  work  as  employment  possibilities.

PERKINS  SCHOOL  FOR  THE  BLIND: 
A  BRIEF  HISTORY 


The  first  school  for  blind  children  anywhere  opened  its  doors  in  Paris 
in  1784  and  was  soon  followed  by  schools  in  England  and  other  Eu- 
ropean countries.  The  United  States,  which  had  only  been  in  independent 
existence  a  few  years,  took  longer  to  follow  suit,  but  by  the  1830's  the  young 
country  was  ready  and  schools  opened  their  doors  almost  simultaneously  in 
1831  in  Boston,  New  York  City  and  Philadelphia.  These  three  schools  still 
exist  as  private  institutions  and  each  in  its  own  way  has  provided  strong 
leadership  for  almost  a  century  and  a  half. 

While  no  one  person  can  be  said  to  have  been  the  sole  founder  of 
Perkins,  the  first  man  known  to  have  recognized  the  need  for  a  school  for 
blind  children  in  New  England  was  Dr.  John  D.  Fisher  who,  as  a  medical 
student  in  Paris,  had  visited  L'Institution  National  des  Jeunes  Aveugles(The 
National  Institution  for  Blind  Youth).  This  was,  and  is,  the  parent  of  all 
schools  for  the  blind  on  earth.  It  was  founded  in  1784,  five  years  before  the 
outbreak  of  the  French  Revolution,  by  Valentin  Hauy,  the  pioneer  in  whose 
footsteps  walk  all  those  who  teach  blind  girls  and  boys. 

In  1826  Dr.  Fisher  returned  to  his  native  Boston  to  become  a  medical 
practitioner.  He  shared  his  thoughts  about  educating  blind  children  with  a 
small  group  of  his  friends  who  met  on  an  icy  day  in  February  1 829  at  the 
Exchange  Coffee  House.  He  aroused  their  interest  and  they  immediately 
applied  to  the  Massachusetts  Legislature  for  a  charter.  On  March  2, 1829  the 
New  England  Asylum  for  the  Blind  was  incorporated  "to  educate  sightless 
persons." 

The  charter  named  thirty-nine  prominent  Bostonians  as  incorporators. 
These  are  indeed  historically  the  founding  fathers.  Among  them  were  John 
Fisher  and  the  blind  historian,  William  H.  Prescott.  Also  included  was  a 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  57 

wealthy  merchant,  Thomas  Handasyd  Perkins,  whose  name  the  school  was 
soon  to  bear.  Included  also  were  members  of  two  Boston  families  who  have 
provided  the  school  with  a  succession  of  trustees.  These  were  Thorndike  and 
Lowell. 

In  1830  the  corporation  elected  its  first  officers  and  twelve  trustees,  one 
of  whom  was  Horace  Mann.  Their  first  task  was  to  find  a  man  who  would  set 
their  ideas  to  work. 

Meanwhile  another  Boston  physician,  Samuel  Gridley  Howe,  had  come 
home  from  fighting  and  doctoring  in  the  Greek  War  of  Independence.  On 
Boylston  Street  one  day  Howe  met  by  chance  with  Fisher  and  some  of  his 
fellow  trustees.  "Here  is  Howe!  The  very  man  we  have  been  looking  for  all 
the  time!"  said  Fisher.  The  response  was  immediate:  A  "meeting  of  flint  with 
steel,"  as  Howe's  daughter  Laura  described  it  some  years  later. 

Without  realizing  it,  the  founding  fathers  had  made  an  historic  decision. 

The  Howe  Regime  1831-1876 

The  year  which  began  with  the  accidental  encounter  between  Fisher  and 
Howe  on  Boylston  Street  in  Boston  were  indeed  important  ones  for  blind 
children  in  all  the  years  that  followed.  Decisions  made  then  and  standards 
then  established  still  have  their  effect  today  not  only  in  Boston  but  in  distant 
corners  of  the  globe. 

Lessons  from  Europe 

The  story  begins  with  Howe  visiting  European  schools  for  the  blind  at 
the  request  of  the  trustees.  On  his  return  he  wrote  an  extensive  report  which 
in  many  ways  can  still  serve  as  a  basis  for  educational  programs  for  blind 
youth.  He  reported,  "I  visited  all  the  principal  institutions  for  the  blind  in 
Europe,  and  found  in  all  much  to  admire  and  to  copy,  but  much  also  to 
avoid."  He  was  distressed  by  the  inadequacy  of  programs  as  a  whole.  In 
France  he  found,  "There  are  only  one  in  three  hundred  of  their  blind  who 
receive  an  education." 

With  universal  free  education  a  burning  issue  in  the  United  States  at 
that  time,  it  is  not  surprising  that  Dr.  Howe,  who  was  to  become  the  close 
friend  and  collaborator  of  Horace  Mann,  should  be  dissatisfied  with  this 
situation  and  determined  to  provide  a  program  which  would  be  available  to 
all  blind  persons  who  could  profit  from  an  education. 

He  found  there  was  a  grievous  shortage  of  embossed  books  and  other 
equipment,  much  of  which  he  felt  was  of  poor  design.  He  was  particularly 
disappointed  to  find  that  most  of  the  boys  and  girls  on  leaving  school  were 
ill-prepared  for  adult  life  and  that  only  a  very  few  of  them  were  able  to 
support  themselves.  He  was  delighted,  however,  with  the  outstanding  suc- 
cesses of  a  few,  and  recognized  the  great  importance  of  these  successes  as 
examples  for  others.  On  the  whole  he  decided  that  the  European  schools 
were  "beacons  to  warn  rather  than  lights  to  guide." 


58  149th  Annual  Report 

The  happiest  of  his  recollections  was  of  boys  from  the  school  in  Paris 
playing  in  a  park  where  "they  run  away  among  the  trees,  and  frolic  and  play 
together  with  all  the  zest  and  enjoyment  of  seeing  children.  They  know  every 
tree  and  shrub,  they  careen  it  up  one  alley  and  down  another,  they  chase, 
catch,  overthrow  and  knock  each  other  about,  exactly  like  seeing  boys;  and 
to  judge  by  their  laughing  faces,  their  wild  and  unrestrained  gestures,  and 
their  loud  and  hearty  shouts,  they  partake  equally  the  delightful  excitement  of 
boyish  play."  As  a  result  of  this  observation,  thousands  of  Perkins  boys  and 
girls  were  provided  with  such  experiences.  The  school  has  always  included 
spacious  play  areas. 

Howe  wanted  to  avoid  anything  which  would  restrict  the  normal 
growth  of  blind  children.  "We  should  depend  entirely  neither  upon  physical 
nor  intellectual  education,  nor  should  we  lay  down  any  general  rule  to  be 
observed  toward  all  pupils.  One  ought  to  be  even  more  observant  of  the  bent 
of  a  blind  boy's  mind,  and  the  direction  of  his  talent,  than  one  is  in  the 
education  of  seeing  children."  This  might  serve  as  the  charter  of  our  guidance 
programs  today. 

He  also  recognized  that  blind  persons  must  be  encouraged  to  behave  as 
normally  as  possible  if  they  were  to  live  satisfying  lives  in  their  own 
communities.  "I  would  observe  that  sufficient  attention  is  not  paid  to  the 
personal  demeanor  of  the  blind,  either  by  their  parents,  or  in  the  public 
institutions,  they  contract  disagreeable  habits,  whether  in  posture  or  in 
movement.  .  .  .  All  of  this  can  be  corrected  by  pursuing  the  same  means  as 
used  with  seeing  children  and  by  accustoming  them  to  society."1 

The  First  Classes 

The  name  under  which  the  school  was  chartered  indicates  the  attitude  of 
Boston  society  to  the  blind  at  that  time.  While  the  word  ASYLUM  did  not 
have  the  same  association  with  mental  sickness  that  it  acquired  later,  it 
indicated  a  refuge.  Howe  had  no  intention  of  providing  anything  of  the  sort. 
He  proposed  to  offer  a  well-balanced  education  of  academics,  crafts,  games 
and  music,  and  when  he  referred  to  the  school  he  usually  called  it  the  New 
England  Institution  for  the  Education  of  the  Blind.  He  wanted  his  pupils  to 
live  lives  as  closely  akin  to  those  of  their  seeing  brothers  and  sisters  as 
possible. 

While  in  Europe  Dr.  Howe  recognized  the  advantages  of  having  some 
blind  teachers  on  his  staff.  He  knew  that  it  was  not  only  the  disinterested 
public  and  the  over-concerned  parents  of  the  pupils  who  had  to  be  shown 
that  blind  children  could  support  themselves.  Blind  children  themselves 
needed  encouragement,  and  the  example  of  competent  blind  instructors  was

invaluable.  When  he  returned  from  Europe  Dr.  Howe  brought  with  him  two 
blind  men:  Emile  Trenched  from  Paris  to  teach  academic  subjects,  and  John 
Pringle  from  Edinburgh  to  give  instruction  in  crafts. 

In  July  1832,  with  two  little  girls  as  pupils — Sophia  Carter,  eight,  and 
her  six-year-old  sister  Abbey — Howe  began  teaching  in  his  father's  house  at 
140  Pleasant  Street,  Boston.  By  August  the  enrollment  had  increased  to  six, 
ranging  in  age  from  six  to  twenty  years. 

The  Move  to  Pearl  Street 

The  school  soon  outgrew  the  Howe  family  home.  Thomas  Handasyd 
Perkins,  who  was  one  of  the  trustees  and  vice-presidents,  was  a  wealthy 
Boston  merchant.  In  April  1833  he  offered  his  home  on  Pearl  Street  for  the 
use  of  the  school,  provided  that  during  the  month  of  May  a  fund  of  fifty 
thousand  dollars  be  raised  by  wealthy  persons  for  its  support.  This  was  done, 
for  Boston  society  was  already  learning  of  Dr.  Howe's  school  and  giving  it 
support  as  it  has  done  most  generously  ever  since.  Support  from  a  wider 
group  of  Bostonians  came  also  in  these  very  early  years  and  a  bazaar  was 
held  in  Faneuil  Hall,  which  was  highly  successful. 

Public  Demonstrations 

Although  Dr.  Howe  had  felt  that  European  schools  gave  too  much 
attention  to  public  exhibitions,  he  soon  recognized  their  importance.  The 
school  needed  not  only  the  financial  support,  but  the  understanding  of  the 
public,  if  his  boys  and  girls  were  ever  to  be  employed  on  completing  their 
education.  Every  Saturday  the  school  was  thrown  open  and  the  pupils  read 
aloud  from  their  scanty  supply  of  embossed  books;  wrote  painstakingly,  but 
in  a  legible  script;  performed  arithmetical  calculations;  located  geographical 
features  on  raised  maps,  and  played  musical  instruments.  Most  of  the  visitors 
were  deeply  impressed  but  some  skeptics  believed  the  children  could  actually 
see,  and  to  counter  this  suspicion,  Dr.  Howe  had  the  children  wear  strips  of 
cloth  over  their  eyes. 

Demonstrations  were  also  given  in  many  public  places,  some  of  which 
were  of  great  importance.  Interest  was  aroused  amongst  legislators  in  the 
New  England  states,  and  several  schools  for  the  blind — including  some  in  the 
Middle  West — owe  their  origins  to  demonstrations  by  the  Perkins  pupils  in 
their  state  capitols. 

Early  Books  and  Equipment 

When  Dr.  Howe  returned  from  Europe  he  brought  with  him  three 
embossed  books  acquired  in  France  and  England,  which  now  form  a  part  of 
the  historical  collection  in  the  Perkins  library.  He  soon  recognized  that 
education  could  not  proceed  without  many  good  books.  He  also  recognized 
that  the  cost  of  such  books  if  they  were  made  for  the  school  alone  would  be 


60  149th  Annual  Report 

prohibitive.  Consequently,  he  set  out  to  raise  money  by  his  own  efforts  to 
establish  a  printing  department  whose  publications  could  be  sold  to  institu- 
tions for  the  blind  throughout  the  world,  or  could  be  used  in  exchange  for 
books  made  by  other  presses,  notably  one  in  Scotland.  His  pioneering  nature 
expressed  itself  in  the  design  of  a  new  font  of  type  which  became  known  as 
Boston  Line  Type.  Unfortunately,  decades  of  controversy  between  propo- 
nents of  different  designs  of  type  now  began,  and  "the  war  of  the  types," 
which  later  involved  several  forms  of  braille,  was  not  satisfactorily  concluded 
until  the  1920's. 

Dr.  Howe  also  recognized  the  need  for  maps  and  designed  many  himself. 
At  his  request,  the  school  printer,  S.  P.  Ruggles,  designed  and  manufactured 
a  giant  embossed  globe  which  nowadays  has  an  honored  place  in  the 
entrance  to  the  Howe  building  in  Watertown. 

Dr.  Howe  never  solved  the  problem  of  embossed  textbooks  to  his  own 
satisfaction.  He  made  efforts  to  establish  a  national  library  for  the  blind 
without  avail,  though  his  agitation  no  doubt  paved  the  way  for  the  founding 
in  1858  of  The  American  Printing  House  for  the  Blind  in  Louisville,  Ken- 
tucky. The  printing  department,  which  he  established  in  1836,  was  the 
forerunner  of  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  established  in  his  memory  by  his 
successors. 

Music 

The  rules  and  regulations  which  the  trustees  drew  up  when  the  school 
opened  required  that  "the  pupils  will  be  taught  reading,  writing,  arith- 
metic, algebra,  geography,  history,  physiology  and  such  other  subjects  that 
are  taught  in  the  best  common  schools;  beside  vocal  and  instrumental 
music." 

The  school  actually  opened  with  a  staff  of  five,  including  Dr.  Howe 
and  a  matron.  We  have  already  mentioned  M.  Trencheri  and  Mr.  Pringle. 
The  third  instructor  was  Lowell  Mason,  professor  of  music.  Among  the 
earliest  appeals  for  funds  by  Dr.  Howe  was  a  request  for  two  thousand 
dollars  for  pianofortes,  organs  and  other  instruments.  Soon  the  school  had 
thirteen  pianos,  and  it  was  reported  that  they  were  kept  in  almost  continual 
action  from  six  o'clock  in  the  morning  until  nine  in  the  evening.  Vocal 
music  was  much  cultivated  and  with  great  success,  the  pupils  giving  public 
concerts  which  afforded  "entire  satisfaction  to  the  audiences."  Some  of  the 
pupils  were  prepared  to  become  church  organists.  The  curriculum  for  the 
day  was,  "in  general  terms,  the  pupils  devote  four  hours  daily  to  intellec- 
tual labor;  four  hours  to  vocal  and  instrumental  music;  four  to  recreation 
and  eating;  four  hours  to  manual  labor  and  eight  to  sleep." 

It  is  notable  that  even  as  early  as  the  1837  Report,  Dr.  Howe  states 
that  "we  would  also  ask  for  our  pupils  a  share  of  public  patronage  in  the 
business  of  tuning  pianofortes.  Some  of  them  can  tune  in  the  best  style. 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  61 

Pianofortes  will  be  kept  in  order  by  the  year  at  a  reasonable  rate  and  the 
work  warranted  to  give  satisfaction  to  competent  judges." 

Early  Graduates 

It  should  be  noted  also  that  in  1837  ten  pupils  had  been  discharged  and 
"we  are  happy  to  add  that  all  of  them  left  under  circumstances  creditable  to 
themselves  and  much  benefited  by  the  instruction  they  had  received.  One  of 
them,  A.  W.  Penniman,  was  employed  by  the  trustees  of  the  new  institution 
in  the  State  of  Ohio  to  commence  and  direct  their  school  and  he  is  now  thus 
employed  both  respectably  and  profitably  to  himself.  Charles  Morrill,  one  of 
the  earliest  pupils,  has  become  such  a  proficient  in  the  science  of  vocal  music 
that  he  readily  found  employment  as  a  teacher  and  is  now  so  employed  in  the 
academy  at  Derry,  N.H.  He  has  large  classes  of  seeing  children  under  his 
charge  and  succeeds  well.  His  knowledge  of  the  organ  and  tuning  pianofortes 
afford  him  additional  means  of  obtaining  a  livelihood.  Three  of  the  others 
who  had  attended  chiefly  to  mechanical  employments  have  commenced 
work  in  their  native  towns  and  with  the  capacity  and  prospect  of  being  able 
by  industry  and  perseverance  to  obtain  their  own  livelihood." 

1837 — A  Memorable  Year 

In  this  year  Dr.  Howe  opened  a  workshop  for  adults.  He  did  this 
reluctantly  for  he  had  hoped  by  including  crafts  in  the  school  program  and 
by  giving  a  normal  education  to  his  boys  and  girls  he  could  demonstrate 
satisfactorily  to  the  wealthy  manufacturers  and  merchants  of  Boston  that 
blind  men  and  women  were  desirable  employees.  While  he  never  seemed  to 
have  much  trouble  in  persuading  his  rich  friends  to  open  their  pocketbooks, 
he  found  that  they  were  extremely  reluctant  to  add  blind  persons  to  their 
payrolls. 

Consequently,  he  decided  he  would  have  a  demonstration  shop  where 
blind  men  and  women  could  obtain  specific  training  in  usable  skills.  He 
desired  strongly  to  avoid  patterns  which  he  had  observed  in  Europe  in  which 
the  majority  of  the  adult  blind  were  employed  permanently  in  sheltered 
workshops. 

However,  even  with  this  demonstration  workshop,  Howe  was  never 
able  to  place  all  of  his  pupils  in  satisfactory  employ,  and  the  workshop  which 
opened  in  1837  was  to  continue  until  1952,  the  longest  span  of  years  of  any 
American  workshop  for  the  blind  at  that  time. 

"The  main  object  of  all  these  instrumentalities  is  to  give  to  the  pupils  a 
store  of  useful  knowledge;  to  develop  in  them  the  aesthetic  sense;  to  train 
them  up  in  virtuous  and  industrious  habits;  to  cultivate  and  strengthen  their 
mental  and  bodily  powers  by  systematic  and  constant  exercise;  and,  lastly,  to 
make  them  hardy  and  self-reliant,  so  that  they  may  go  out  into  the  world,  not 
to  eat  the  bread  of  charity,  but  to  earn  a  livelihood  by  honest  work." 


62  149th  Annual  Report 

An  important  event  took  place  in  1 837.  Among  the  pupils  admitted  that 
year  was  Laura  Bridgman,  a  seven-year-old  child  from  New  Hampshire. 
Laura,  the  first  deaf-blind  child  ever  to  be  successfully  educated,  was  Dr. 
Howe's  own  personal  pupil. 

In  1842  Charles  Dickens  visited  America  and  on  his  return  to  England 
published  his  American  notes  which  were  largely  critical  of  the  new  country. 
However,  his  praise  for  what  Dr.  Howe  and  Laura  Bridgman  had  accom- 
plished together  was  widely  read  throughout  Europe  and  gave  the  young 
school  an  international  standing  which  has  grown  ever  since. 

The  Move  to  South  Boston 

In  1839  the  school  enrollment  had  grown  to  sixty-five  and  the  Perkins 
residence  on  Pearl  Street  was  no  longer  adequate.  At  this  time  the  large  hotel, 
known  as  the  Mount  Washington  House  at  South  Boston,  came  on  the 
market.  To  provide  funds  for  the  purchase  of  this  property,  Mr.  Perkins 
allowed  his  Pearl  Street  estate  to  be  sold.  This  generous  act  was  recognized 
by  the  corporation  changing  the  name  of  the  school  to  Perkins  Institution 
and  Massachusetts  Asylum  for  the  Blind. 

Ten  years  after  Dr.  Howe  met  Dr.  Fisher,  he  could  look  back  on  a 
remarkable  achievement.  The  school  had  been  founded  and  its  finances, 
while  strictly  limited,  were  adequate  for  the  moment.  Certain  principles  and 
standards  had  been  established  which  had  already  proved  beneficial  to  the 
pupils  in  the  school  and  which  were  to  benefit  many  more  as  the  years  went 
by. 

For  another  thirty-four  years  Howe  directed  the  school,  enlarging  and 
improving  the  buildings.  In  1870  he  introduced,  on  a  small  scale,  the  cottage 
system  of  student  living  which  is  such  an  important  feature  of  the  school 
today.  To  the  end  of  his  life  he  emphasized  always  the  desirability  of  training 
blind  children  for  adult  careers  in  which  they  would  share  to  the  fullest  the 
lives  of  their  families  and  participate  in  community  life.  Dr.  Howe  died  in 
1 876  at  the  age  of  seventy-four. 

The  Anagnos  Years 

It  was  appropriate  that  Dr.  Howe's  successor,  Michael  Anagnos,  should 
be  a  Greek.  Howe  had  fought  for  the  political  independence  of  Greek  citizens 
before  he  began  laboring  for  the  social  and  economic  independence  of  blind 
men  and  women  in  America. 

In  1867  Howe  was  back  in  Greece  distributing  relief  supplies  to  the 
Cretans  who  were  rebelling  against  the  Turks.  There  he  met  Michael  Anag- 
nos who  followed  him  back  to  Boston  where  he  not  only  became  his 
son-in-law,  but  served  as  his  right-hand  man  during  the  last  years  of  his  life. 

The  international  outlook  which  Howe  brought  to  the  school  was 
maintained  by  Anagnos,  and  one  of  the  first  acts  of  his  directorship  was  to

cooperate  with  a  school  for  the  blind  in  Vienna  in  building  up  a  blindiana 
library  and  museum.  In  later  years  this  library  was  to  prove  invaluable  in  our 
teacher  training  programs. 

Michael  Anagnos  had  been  a  newspaper  editor  in  Athens.  His  early 
struggle  for  an  education  made  him  sympathetic  to  the  desire  for  learning 
wherever  he  found  it,  and  this  desire  was  strong  among  many  blind  boys  and 
girls  at  Perkins.  In  his  efforts  to  raise  the  standard  of  instruction  to  a  higher 
level,  he  soon  encountered  the  same  shortage  of  embossed  books  which  had 
plagued  Dr.  Howe.  In  spite  of  all  Dr.  Howe's  efforts,  the  school  printing 
press  was  small  and  inadequately  financed.  As  a  tribute  to  his  predecessor, 
Michael  Anagnos  in  1881  established  the  Howe  Memorial  Press  and 
appealed  successfully  to  the  public  for  funds  for  its  endowment. 

First  Kindergarten  for  the  Blind 

Anagnos  is  best  remembered  for  the  "kindergarten  for  the  blind"  which 
he  established  in  Jamaica  Plain,  a  section  of  Boston,  in  1887.  Up  until  this 
time  pupils  were  not  usually  accepted  at  Perkins  below  the  age  of  eight  or 
nine.  In  the  new  kindergarten  they  started  as  early  as  five.  This  school  unit, 
which  included  not  only  a  kindergarten  year,  but  the  first  six  grades,  was 
generously  financed  by  the  people  of  Boston  under  the  persistent  and  skillful 
urging  of  the  school's  second  director. 

Anne  Sullivan  and  Helen  Keller 

Probably  the  incident  in  Michael  Anagnos'  career  which  is  the  best 
known  throughout  the  world  was  his  choice  of  Anne  Sullivan,  a  recent 
graduate  from  Perkins,  to  go  down  to  Alabama  to  work  with  the  infant 
Helen  Keller.  Using  only  the  reports  which  Dr.  Howe  had  compiled  of  his 
work  with  Laura  Bridgman,  Anne  Sullivan  proved  equal  to  the  task  of 
teaching  language  to  Helen  Keller.  The  two  of  them  spent  the  years  1889  to 
1 893  at  Perkins  as  the  guests  of  Michael  Anagnos  whose  encouragement  was 
a  major  factor  in  the  success  of  these  two  remarkable  women. 

Faculty  Growth 

Perhaps  the  real  measure  of  Michael  Anagnos'  directorship  was  the 
spectacular  increase  in  the  number  of  teachers.  When  he  became  director  in 
1876  there  were  eleven  teachers  for  147  pupils,  or  one  teacher  to  each  13 
children.  Moreover,  no  fewer  than  five  of  these  1 1  were  music  teachers.  For 
academic  instruction  there  was  one  teacher  for  every  29  pupils. 

At  the  time  of  his  death,  which  took  place  in  Romania  in  1906  in  his 
seventieth  year,  there  were  two  separate  schools,  the  lower  school  in  Jamaica 
Plain,  and  the  upper  school  in  south  Boston.  In  the  former,  18  teachers  (five 
of  them  for  music)  taught  118  children,  a  ratio  of  one  to  six  and  a  half. 
Teachers  of  academic  subjects  were  one  to  nine. 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  65 

In  the  upper  school  in  South  Boston  46  teachers  taught  171  pupils,  a 
ratio  of  one  to  four.  In  academic  subjects  the  ratio  was  one  to  nine,  the  same 
as  in  Jamaica  Plain.  This  unique  high  ratio  of  teacher  to  pupils  has  been 
a  characteristic  feature  of  Perkins  ever  since. 

Edward  E.  Allen,  Educator 

Dr.  Howe  was  a  physician,  and  Michael  Anagnos,  while  a  scholar,  was 
primarily  an  editor.  The  school's  third  director,  Dr.  Edward  E.  Allen  who 
succeeded  Michael  Anagnos  on  his  death  in  1906,  was  an  educator.  After 
graduating  from  Harvard  he  had  taught  for  several  years  in  the  Royal 
Normal  School  for  the  Blind  in  London;  a  school  whose  first  director  was 
Francis  Campbell,  a  former  music  teacher  at  Perkins.  From  London  Dr. 
Allen  returned  to  Boston  where  he  taught  at  Perkins  for  several  years.  He 
was  then  appointed  superintendent  of  the  school  for  the  blind  in  Philadel- 
phia where  he  remained  for  sixteen  years. 

In  1906  he  was  called  back  to  Boston  on  the  death  of  Michael  Anagnos, 
and  almost  immediately  began  a  campaign  to  move  the  school  from  South 
Boston  to  some  site  where  there  would  be  space  for  greater  physical  activity. 
Quoting  the  philosophy  of  Francis  Campbell,  whom  he  greatly  admired,  he 
made  a  plea  for  facilities  where  the  blind  boys  and  girls  could  be  brought  up 
in  a  much  more  active  manner  than  was  possible  within  the  narrow  confines 
at  South  Boston.  In  1910  he  had  found  the  spot  he  was  looking  for  on  the 
Stickney  estate  in  Watertown,  and  during  the  next  three  years  both  the 
school  in  South  Boston  and  the  kindergarten  in  Jamaica  Plain  were  moved 
to  the  present  site. 

Dr.  Edward  E.  Allen  was  responsible  for  many  firsts  in  the  education  of 
the  blind.  His  strong  interest  in  physical  activity  for  youth  led  him  to  appoint 
the  first  trained  physiotherapist  in  any  school  for  the  blind  in  1908. 

The  Watertown  plant  carried  to  fruition  the  cottage  family  plan  inaugu- 
rated by  Dr.  Howe,  but  Dr.  Allen  immediately  recognized  that  for  the  plan  to 
succeed  as  he  hoped,  it  was  necessary  that  a  much  closer  contact  between  the 
Perkins  cottage  family  and  the  pupils'  own  families  was  desirable.  In  1916  he 
appointed  a  home  visitor,  the  first  ever  to  serve  a  school  for  the  blind  on  a 
full-time  basis.  A  year  or  two  later,  together  with  the  Overbrook  School  for 
the  Blind,  Dr.  Allen  engaged  the  services  of  Dr.  Samuel  P.  Hayes,  head  of  the 
psychology  department  at  Mt.  Holyoke  College,  to  prepare  the  first  psycho- 
logical tests  for  blind  children.  These  tests,  known  as  the  Hayes-Binet  Tests, 
successfully  demonstrated  for  the  first  time  that  the  population  of  blind 
people  does  not  differ  in  intelligence  from  the  population  of  the  seeing.  That 
is,  there  is  approximately  the  same  percentage  of  superior,  normal  and 
inferior  blind  as  you  find  among  seeing  boys  and  girls. 

In  1920  Dr.  Allen  took  the  first  steps  towards  placing  the  education  of 
blind  children  on  a  professional  level  comparable  to  the  best  public  and 


66  149th  Annual  Report 

private  schools  in  the  country.  In  this  year,  the  first  graduate-level  teacher 
training  program  for  teachers  of  the  blind  was  established  at  Perkins  in 
cooperation  with  Harvard  University.  In  1924  Dr.  Allen  appointed  the  first 
speech  therapist  as  a  full-time  employee  in  a  school  for  the  blind. 

By  the  end  of  the  first  century  of  the  school's  history  when  Dr.  Allen 
retired,  the  shape  of  Perkins  as  we  know  it  today,  its  ideals  and  its  standards, 
was  firmly  established. 

The  three  directors  who  headed  the  school  throughout  this  century  were 
all  mindful  of  the  fact  that  the  population  of  blind  people  is  a  relatively  small 
one.  The  blind  would  always  be  a  minority  group,  and  consequently,  if  blind 
men  and  women  were  to  take  their  place  among  the  seeing  majority,  they 
must  make  a  greater  effort  to  succeed  in  whatever  they  set  out  to  accomplish. 

In  a  larger  sense,  however,  it  was  not  so  much  the  efforts  of  these  three 
men  that  made  the  school  what  it  is  today,  but  the  fact  that  throughout  ten 
decades  the  challenges  which  these  directors  and  their  staffs  hurled  at  their 
pupils  were  picked  up  and  eagerly  accepted,  and  in  many  cases  surpassed. 
All  that  the  Perkins  faculty  could  do  was  to  offer  opportunities  to  their  boys 
and  girls.  It  was  the  good  use  to  which  these  young  people  put  these 
opportunities  that  made  Perkins  a  great  success.  The  history  of  the  school 
was  written  rather  in  the  efforts  of  Sophia  Carter,  the  first  blind  child  to  come 
to  Perkins,  and  her  many  successors:  such  as  Laura  Bridgman,  A.  W. 
Penniman,  Stephen  Blaisdell,  Anne  Sullivan  and  Helen  Keller. 

Perkins  was  not  only  a  school  whose  innovations  were  important  to 
itself  and  to  other  schools  in  the  United  States  for  by  193 1  it  had  become  well 
known  in  other  lands.  The  visits  of  all  the  three  directors  to  Europe,  the  story 
Charles  Dickens  wrote  about  Laura  Bridgman  and  the  outstanding  work  of 
Francis  Campbell,  a  former  blind  teacher  at  Perkins,  who  helped  to  found 
the  Royal  Normal  School  for  the  Blind  in  London,  England,  had  given  the 
school  a  unique  standing  which  was  greatly  enhanced  by  the  enrollment  of 
teachers  in  training  from  overseas. 

Undoubtedly  an  important  factor  in  this  development  was  the  presence 
among  the  trustees  throughout  the  years  of  men  with  overseas  interests  and 
an  international  outlook.  Dr.  Fisher  studied  in  Europe.  Colonel  Perkins 
spent  his  life  in  overseas  commerce  and  traveled  extensively  in  the  Carib- 
bean, Europe  and  the  Far  East.  Another  of  our  founders  was  William  H. 
Prescott,  the  historian  of  Spain  and  with  Spanish  conquests  in  South  Amer- 
ica. Horace  Mann,  an  early  trustee,  studied  in  European  education.  New 
England  society  had  many  world  ties  and  Boston  generosity  was  not  con- 
fined to  the  blind  members  of  its  own  community. 

This  international  interest  continued  into  the  second  century  and  has 
been  a  matter  of  major  concern  to  the  trustees  and  administration  of  Perkins 
up  to  the  present  date. 


Perkins  School  for  the  Bund  67 

Second  Century 

On  the  retirement  of  Dr.  Edward  E.  Allen  and  the  appointment  of  Dr. 
Gabriel  Farrell  to  succeed  him,  the  school  started  on  its  second  century.  Dr. 
Farrell,  who  was  an  Episcopalian  minister  of  varied  experience,  brought  to 
the  school  a  vigor  and  organizing  ability  that  led  to  immediate 
improvements. 

One  of  the  first  tasks  was  to  organize  the  work  for  the  deaf-blind  into  a 
special  department  under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Inez  B.  Hall,  a  pioneer  in  the 
use  of  the  vibration  technique  of  teaching  deaf-blind  children  to  speak. 

In  Dr.  Farrell's  early  years  many  improvements  in  the  business  of  the 
institution  took  place,  and  a  notable  event  was  the  creation  of  the  office  of 
bursar  to  handle  business  affairs.  In  these  years,  too,  the  school  which  had 
virtually  been  three  schools:  lower  school,  boys'  upper  school  and  girls' 
upper  school  were  combined  into  a  single  unit  with  the  educational  program 
under  the  control  of  one  principal. 

The  Perkins  "Lantern" 

Dr.  Farrell  was  an  experienced  journalist  and  it  was  natural  that  as  a 
result  he  should  inaugurate  a  magazine  to  acquaint  friends  of  Perkins  with 
the  affairs  of  the  school.  This  magazine,  The  Lantern,  which  is  issued  in  print 
and  braille  form,  was  established  in  1931.  It  has  done  much  to  acquaint 
workers  in  this  field  with  the  school's  endeavors  and  to  bring  it  many  friends 
among  the  general  public.  It  also  serves  to  keep  former  students  more  closely 
in  touch  with  their  school. 

The  years  of  World  War  II  were  difficult  ones  for  the  school  and  a 
number  of  the  older  boys  left  earlier  than  they  would  have  otherwise  to 
obtain  employment.  However,  the  changing  situation  in  the  labor  market 
since  World  War  II  has  brought  about  many  new  opportunities  for  employ- 
ment among  the  blind.  The  goal  which  Dr.  Howe  sought  of  finding  unshel- 
tered employment  for  all  the  boys  and  girls  of  the  school  finally  became  a 
reality  in  the  closing  years  of  Dr.  Farrell's  directorship  which  ended  in  1 95 1 . 

The  Fifth  Director 

As  a  result  of  this  changing  economic  situation,  one  of  the  first  acts  of 
the  fifth  director,  Dr.  Edward  J.  Waterhouse,  who  succeeded  Dr.  Farrell  in 
1951,  was  the  closing  of  the  workshop  which  Dr.  Howe  established  in  1837. 
This  workshop  was  partly  rendered  superfluous  by  the  establishment  in 
recent  years  of  state  workshops.  For  over  a  decade  no  Perkins  pupil  had 
sought  employment  in  the  Perkins  workshop.  It  was  only  a  matter  of  time 
before  the  plant  would  close  down  of  its  own  volition.  It  seemed  wiser  to 
bring  about  a  more  orderly  demise,  and  the  workshop  was  officially  closed  in 
June  1952. 


68  149th  Annual  Report 

While  the  last  decade  is  too  close  to  the  present  for  evaluation,  certain 
events  may  be  recorded.  The  work  of  Dr.  Hayes,  encouraged  by  both  Dr. 
Allen  and  Dr.  Farrell,  led  in  turn  to  the  establishment  of  a  guidance  depart- 
ment employing  several  clinical  psychologists.  Dr.  Allen  had  added  a  psy- 
chometrist  to  the  staff,  a  practice  which  Dr.  Farrell  had  continued.  In  the 
1950's  guidance  counseling  became  an  important  part  of  the  school  program. 

The  Retrolental  Fibroplasia  Wave 

The  first  child  to  be  admitted  to  Perkins  whose  blindness  was  caused  by 
retrolental  fibroplasia  was  enrolled  in  1946.  This  disease  which  resulted  from 
excessive  exposure  of  prematurely  born  infants  to  oxygen  was  soon  to  add 
thousands  of  girls  and  boys  to  schools  and  classes  for  the  blind  in  the  1950's. 
Fortunately  this  disease  was  rapidly  brought  under  control  and  it  is  a  rare 
event  for  a  child  to  lose  his  sight  for  this  reason  nowadays.  At  Perkins,  where 
the  enrollment  had  been  steadily  declining,  an  immediate  increase  was 
experienced.  Between  1946  and  1951,  while  the  upper  school  population 
decreased  by  28,  the  lower  school  increased  by  32.  Soon  the  total  school 
population,  which  had  declined  to  234  in  1943,  was  in  excess  of  300. 

This  increase  would  have  been  far  greater  had  it  not  been  for  the  rapid 
increase  at  this  time  of  classes  for  blind  children  in  the  public  schools 
throughout  the  United  States.  This  was  largely  the  result  of  the  retrolental- 
fibroplasia  wave  and  the  desire  of  parents  to  keep  their  children  at  home.  In  a 
few  years  more  than  half  the  blind  children  in  America  were  being  educated 
in  this  way.  Had  it  not  been  for  this  program  in  New  England,  Perkins  would 
have  been  forced  to  increase  its  capacity  considerably. 

The  Deaf-Blind  Department 

The  Deaf-Blind  Department  which  had  flourished  since  its  organization 
in  1931  until  the  outbreak  of  World  War  II  was  in  serious  danger  of  collapse 
in  the  years  which  followed  the  war.  There  was  an  acute  national  shortage  of 
trained  teachers  of  the  deaf — the  source  from  which  Perkins  had  mainly 
drawn  its  teachers  of  the  deaf-blind.  It  became  necessary  for  Perkins  to 
establish  its  own  program  for  training  teachers  of  the  deaf-blind  which  was 
worked  out  in  cooperation  with  Boston  University  in  1955.  A  program  of 
research  was  also  established  in  the  Deaf-Blind  Department  at  this  time.  The 
department  grew  from  five  pupils  in  1 953  to  forty  pupils  in  1 969,  making  it  by 
far  the  largest  in  the  world.  It  included  over  one-third  of  all  deaf-blind  pupils 
in  special  programs  in  the  United  States.  In  February  1968  a  day  program  for 
preschool  deaf-blind  pupils  was  opened  to  accommodate  local  victims  of  the 
1963-64  maternal  rubella  epidemic. 

The  Rubella  Wave 

As  the  retrolental  fibroplasia  wave  began  to  recede  and  hopes  grew  that 
the  total  number  of  blind  and  deaf-blind  in  the  United  States  would  rapidly 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  69 

decline,  the  maternal  rubella  epidemic  changed  the  situation  markedly. 
Within  a  few  years  the  total  number  of  deaf-blind  children  to  need  an 
education  in  the  United  States,  which  had  probably  numbered  less  than  300, 
rose  to  nearer  3,000  and  Perkins  had  to  plan  to  meet  this  challenge.  The 
trustees  authorized  the  construction  of  new  buildings  which  opened  in  1970 
and  1971  as  the  population  of  deaf-blind  gradually  increased  from  what  had 
been  steadily  in  the  30's  to  two  or  three  times  that  number. 

New  England  Center  for  Deaf- Blind  Children 

As  a  result  of  the  first  federal  legislation  for  the  education  of  deaf-blind 
children,  the  New  England  Regional  Center  for  Services  to  Deaf-Blind 
children  was  established  at  Perkins  in  1969  to  organize  and  supervise  pro- 
grams for  deaf-blind  children  throughout  the  region. 

Education  of  the  Public 

Ever  since  Dr.  Howe's  days,  it  has  been  recognized  at  Perkins  that  one 
of  the  important  responsibilities  of  a  school  for  the  blind  is  to  educate  the 
public  whenever  possible  concerning  the  abilities  of  blind  persons.  The 
demonstrations  which  Dr.  Howe  inaugurated  were  continued  annually  into 
the  1970's.  Emphasis  is  now  on  methods  of  mass  education,  and  during 
recent  years  seven  professional  motion  picture  films  have  been  produced  for 
Perkins  by  Campbell  Films.  The  first  of  these  was  entitled  "The  Perkins 
Story"  and  appeared  in  1956.  Although  quite  out  of  date  in  many  respects,  it 
is  still  very  popular.  This  was  followed  by  "Children  of  the  Silent  Night" 
which  dealt  with  our  deaf-blind  children.  The  third  film  entitled  "The  Legacy 
of  Anne  Sullivan"  was  made  in  collaboration  with  the  Industrial  Home  for 
the  Blind,  Brooklyn,  New  York  as  part  of  the  celebration  of  the  100th 
anniversary  of  the  birth  of  Anne  Sullivan  in  1966.  A  further  film  entitled 
"The  Realities  of  Blindness — The  Perkins  Experience"  was  completed  in 
1971  as  a  replacement  for  "The  Perkins  Story."  Two  additional  films  on  the 
deaf-blind  have  been  completed  and  are  in  circulation.  These  are  "The  World 
of  Deaf-Blind  Children — How  They  Communicate"  and  "The  World  of 
Deaf-Blind  Children — Growing  Up."  A  film  on  career  education,  "The 
Perkins  Story — Adapting  to  Change,"  has  been  completed  and  is  in  distribu- 
tion. Hundreds  of  copies  of  these  films  are  in  constant  circulation. 

The  Sixth  Director 

In  August  1971  Benjamin  F.  Smith  became  the  sixth  director,  succeeding 
Dr.  Edward  J.  Waterhouse.  Mr.  Smith  came  to  the  position  with  thirty-two 
years  of  experience  at  Perkins,  during  which  time  he  served  as  a  teacher,  as 
principal,  and  as  assistant  director.  He  was  the  first  visually  handicapped 
man  to  head  the  school. 


70  I49th  Annual  Report 

Program  Revision  Needed 

Since  the  student  population  was  changing  rapidly  with  the  increased 
number  of  multi-impaired  students,  including  the  deaf-blind,  changes  were 
necessary  in  the  school  program. 

Career  Education 

In  September  1972  Perkins  established  a  career  education  program 
beginning  with  junior  and  senior  high  school  students,  with  emphasis  on  the 
development  of  positive  work  attitudes  and  personal  living  skills.  The  major 
components  of  this  program  included  practical  academics,  training  in  home 
and  personal  management,  vocational  exploration  and  increased  emphasis 
in  the  areas  of  orientation  and  mobility,  speech  therapy  and  occupational 
therapy.  Actual  work  experiences,  both  on  and  off  campus,  served  as  valua- 
ble supplements  to  the  classroom  work. 

Special  Cottage- Based  Programs 

As  the  population  of  multi-impaired  students  continued  to  increase,  a 
number  of  special  cottage-based  programs  were  developed  in  which  stu- 
dents received  classroom  instruction  in  their  cottages,  in  conjunction  with 
training  in  living  and  social  skills.  The  first  of  these  programs,  which  was 
established  in  Fisher  Cottage,  was  designed  for  a  group  of  lower  school 
boys  and  girls  who  were  too  old  to  remain  in  the  lower  school,  but  whose 
academic  and  social  skills  were  insufficient  to  compete  in  the  upper  school. 
Here,  in  addition  to  receiving  instruction  in  useful  academics,  students 
share  in  food  purchasing,  meal  preparation,  and  in  the  setting  up  of 
cottage  procedures  and  regulations. 

Two  additional  programs  of  the  cottage-classroom  type  were  added 
one  year  after  the  inception  of  the  Fisher  Program  in  1973:  the  Potter 
Program,  which  was  designed  for  pupils  needing  less  academic  emphasis, 
and  the  Brooks  Program,  where  the  curriculum  was  oriented  more 
towards  rehabilitation  goals. 

Two  programs  serving  the  needs  of  deaf-blind  students,  were  estab- 
lished in  Eliot  and  Oliver  cottages  during  the  second  and  third  years 
following  the  Potter  and  Brooks  programs.  Both  the  Eliot  Program  for 
older  students,  and  the  Oliver  Program  for  younger  students,  stressed 
training  in  self-help  skills  and  socialization  in  conjunction  with  useful 
academics. 

Community  Residence  Training  Program 

To  serve  the  needs  of  a  group  of  young  deaf-blind  adults  and  a  group  of 
young  multi-impaired  adults,  Perkins  established  a  community  residence 
training  program  in  1973  in  Bridgman  Cottage.  Here,  under  a  supervisory 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  71 

and  instructional  staff,  students  were  given  training  in  skills  designed  to 
equip  them  for  semi-structured  community  living  after  leaving  Perkins.  As  a 
part  of  their  training,  students  became  responsible  for  maintaining  their 
living  quarters,  preparing  meals,  shopping,  establishing  bank  accounts  and 
developing  recreational  skills. 

Young  Adult  Rehabilitation  Program 

In  September  1974  a  young  adult  rehabilitation  program  was  started, 
primarily  for  clients  of  state  agencies  for  the  blind.  This  was  an  eleven 
months  program  financially  supported  by  rehabilitation  agencies  through- 
out the  New  England  states  and  New  Jersey.  Included  in  the  program  were 
residential  and  public  high  school  students,  ranging  in  age  from  18-30  years 
in  need  of  intensive  rehabilitation  in  order  to  achieve  integration  into  their 
communities.  Each  client  was  enrolled  in  subjects  specific  to  his/  her  needs. 

A  second  community  residence  training  program  was  established  in 
Tompkins  Cottage  to  serve  the  needs  of  young  adult  rehabilitation  clients 
which  included  a  group  of  multi-impaired.  Those  clients  in  the  program 
demonstrating  a  capability  for  apartment  living  became  eligible  for  transfer 
to  a  program  of  independent  apartment  living  in  the  Northeast  Building. 

Vocational  Training  Expanded 

During  the  period  1971-1977  there  was  a  marked  expansion  in  the 
Vocational  Training  Program,  with  an  increase  in  the  number  of  courses 
being  offered.  In  the  Industrial  Education  Department  courses  in  photog- 
raphy, small  engine  repair,  wood  and  metal  industries,  and  graphics  were 
introduced.  New  courses  offered  in  other  departments  included:  switchboard 
operation,  salesmanship,  retail  management,  food  service  training,  and  child 
care  training. 

New  Special  Education  Legislation 

While  Perkins  was  adapting  its  program  to  meet  the  needs  of  its  chang- 
ing student  population,  new  special  education  legislation,  both  federal  and 
state,  was  being  enacted.  The  most  significant  of  this  legislation  for  Perkins 
was  that  passed  in  Massachusetts  in  1974  known  as  Chapter  766,  which 
mandated  that  each  community  provide  education  for  every  child,  regardless 
of  his/her  handicap.  Options  for  educational  placement  of  children  in  pri- 
vate schools  such  as  Perkins  were  to  be  considered  only  after  all  other 
possible  options  were  explored  in  public  school  settings.  Fortunately  Perkins 
with  its  variety  of  programs  geared  for  the  broad  population  of  multi- 
impaired  students,  as  well  as  for  the  visually  impaired  was  able  to  provide  a 
program  of  educational  services  not  obtainable  in  most  settings. 


72  149th  Annual  Report 

The  Seventh  Director 

On  July  1,  1977  Charles  C.  Woodcock  became  the  seventh  director  of 
Perkins,  succeeding  Benjamin  F.  Smith. 

Before  coming  to  Perkins,  Mr.  Woodcock  served  for  five  years  as 
superintendent  of  the  Iowa  Braille  and  Sight  Saving  School,  Vinton,  Iowa, 
and  for  twenty  years  was  at  the  Oregon  State  School  for  the  Blind,  the  last 
twelve  as  director.  He  is  well  known  in  the  field  for  his  development  of  in- 
novative programs  for  blind  children  especially  for  the  multi-impaired. 

After  coming  to  Perkins,  the  director  worked  closely  with  his  staff  in 
developing  a  program  designed  to  meet  both  the  present  and  future  needs  of 
the  students. 

With  a  task  force  of  selected  staff,  he  studied  the  entire  Perkins 
organization  and  worked  to  develop  progressive  school  and  personnel  poli- 
cies and  guided  the  activities  of  the  assistant  director  in  a  major  restructuring 
of  the  instructional  programs. 

The  restructuring  resulted  in  units  responsible  for  planning  the  total 
program  for  each  student  or  client  within  each  unit.  It  provided  various 
options  for  short  term  enrollments  and  a  close  working  relationship  with 
local  education  agencies. 

A  concerted  effort  was  made  during  1979-1980  to  update  our  physical 
facilities  to  meet  new  and  changing  fire  and  safety  codes  and  to  make  them 
more  accessible  to  the  handicapped. 

It  became  evident  in  the  first  few  years  of  Mr.  Woodcock's  administra- 
tion that  unless  decisive  steps  were  taken  to  conserve  energy,  the  cost  of 
energy  would  become  a  great  financial  burden.  After  conducting  a  campus- 
wide  energy  audit,  it  was  found  that  a  large  amount  of  energy  and  dollars 
could  be  saved.  Plans  are  now  underway  to  implement  the  results  of  the 
audit. 

Pupils'  Attitudes  Unchanged 

Were  Dr.  Howe  to  return  to  the  school,  he  would  find  that  many  of  his 
dreams  had  been  fulfilled.  He  would  wholeheartedly  endorse  the  spirit  of 
determination  of  the  blind  and  deaf-blind  students  of  today  to  overcome  any 
impairments  in  the  same  manner  as  in  the  school's  early  years.  He  would  be 
particularly  gratified  to  find  that  many  students  leaving  the  school  become 
economically  and  socially  independent.  Both  he  and  Horace  Mann  would 
approve  the  opportunities  the  school  is  offering  to  the  multi-impaired  blind.

STATEMENT  OF  PHILOSOPHY  AND  SERVICE 

Brief  Statement  of  Service  Responsibility 

Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  accepts  students  and  clients  from  the  New 
England  states  and  other  parts  of  the  country,  as  well  as  from  overseas.  Since 
its  founding,  Perkins  has  provided  equal  opportunities  to  all  students 
regardless  of  the  geographic  location  from  which  they  come.  The  school  also 
accepts  responsibility  for  educating  students  and  clients  who  have 
impairments  in  addition  to  that  of  blindness  and  visual  impairments,  such  as 
deafness,  mental  retardation,  behavior  maladjustment,  neurological 
impairment,  orthopedic  disabilities,  and  perceptual  dysfunction. 

Statement  of  Goals 

The  overall  goals  of  Perkins  include: 


Education — To  assist  blind  and  visually  impaired  children  to  attain  a  level  of 
individual  mastery  of  their  physical,  social,  emotional,  academic,  and 
spiritual  worlds.  Perkins  provides  individual  attention  wherever  it  is 
needed.  Classes  are  small  and  the  teacher-pupil  ratio  is  high.  An 
extensive  diagnostic  and  evaluation  program  helps  in  placing  each 
pupil  at  a  correct  level,  and  reveals  possible  needs  for  change. 

Interpretation — To  assist  the  public  to  attain  an  informed  status  about  the 
many  visual  deficit  conditions  and  the  implications  of  these  conditions 
for  personal  adjustment  and  individual  competence  within  the  context 
of  community  living.  An  extensive  program  has  been  carried  out  for 
the  past  few  years  in  the  production  of  films,  and  in  dissemination  of 
literature  on  the  education  of  the  blind  and  visually  impaired  and  the 
deaf-blind. 

Leadership — To  assist  the  staff  to  develop  further  their  capabilities, 
attitudes,  and  levels  of  satisfaction  so  as  to  promote  the  effectiveness  of 
their  performance  in  their  many  roles  in  the  school.  The  school  provides 
funds  and,  when  necessary,  released  time  to  teachers  to  attend  seminars 
and  courses  in  their  specialties.  Perkins  seeks  to  keep  abreast  of 
relevant  research  in  both  general  and  special  education. 

Research — To  provide  a  setting  for  the  continuous  exploration  of  problems 
associated  with  visual  impairment,  such  setting  to  be  used  by  school 
staff  and  other  qualified  investigators.  The  intent  of  such  exploration 
would  be  discovering  new  materials,  and  of  perfecting  existing 
methods  and  materials  to  enhance  the  community  effort  on  behalf  of 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  75 

blind  and  visually  impaired  children.  The  school  has  a  research  library 
which  is  believed  to  be  the  largest  in  existence  dealing  with  the 
education  of  the  blind  and  visually  impaired. 
Participation — To    contribute    as    an    integral    member   agency    to    the 
community  welfare. 


Expanded  Statement  of  Philosophy  and  Service 

The  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind,  chartered  in  1829  by  the  General 
Court  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts,  provides  educational 
services  to  students  birth  through  age  22,  and  rehabilitation  services  to  clients 
18  years  through  adulthood.  Services  are  provided  on  a  day,  residential, 
consultation,  outreach,  and  respite  basis.  Perkins  admits  students  and  clients 
of  any  race,  color,  national  and  ethnic  origin  to  all  rights,  privileges, 
programs,  and  activities  generally  accorded  or  made  available  to  students 
and  clients  at  the  school.  Blind,  visually  impaired,  deaf-blind  and  multi- 
impaired  individuals  are  served.  Additional  impairments  include,  but  are  not 
limited  to,  deafness,  mental  retardation,  behavior  maladjustment, 
neurological  impairment,  orthopedic  disability,  and  perceptual  dysfunction. 

Programs  and  services  at  Perkins  are  structured  to  develop  each 
student's  and  client's  maximum  potential  intellectually,  physically,  mentally, 
emotionally,  and  socially.  Training  programs  are  implemented  to  insure  that 
each  individual  is  provided  the  necessary  skills  to  live,  work,  and  function  as 
independently  as  possible.  Programs  are  structured  as  interdisciplinary 
teams  and  individual  education/ rehabilitation  plans  are  based  on 
comprehensive  diagnostic  evaluations. 

The  staffing  pattern  at  Perkins  is  constantly  analyzed  and  structured  to 
include  individual  and  small  group  instruction.  The  recruitment  of  staff  is 
carefully  supervised  to  insure  the  selection  of  highly  trained  and  experienced 
personnel.  Inservice  training  programs  are  provided  on  campus  on  a  regular 
basis  to  assist  in  staff  development.  The  school  provides  funds  and,  when 
necessary,  released  time  for  teachers  and  other  staff  to  attend  seminars  and 
workshops  in  their  areas  of  specialty  and/ or  need.  Perkins  has  had  an  active 
teacher  training  program  since  1920.  Its  present  affiliation  is  with  Boston 
College.  Other  colleges  and  universities  have  close  working  relationships 
with  Perkins  for  student  teacher  and  intern  placements,  as  well  as  providing 
consultation  to  our  staff.  These  colleges  and  universities  include  Boston 
University,  Northeastern  University,  and  Lesley  College.  In  an  effort  to  assist 
in  the  education  of  blind  and  deaf-blind  children  in  other  countries,  Perkins 
offers  scholarships  to  trainees  from  all  parts  of  the  world. 

Initially  referral  to  Perkins  is  by  local  education  authorities, 
rehabilitation  agencies,  commissions  for  the  blind,  other  human  service

agencies,  and  parents.  Before  admission  is  considered,  a  diagnostic 
evaluation  is  recommended  for  all  students  and  clients.  Elements  of  an 
evaluation  include  but  are  not  limited  to: 

— psychology/ behavior  management      — physical  therapy 

— family  assessment  — audiology 

— medical  history  — prevocational  and  vocational 

— educational  level  training 

— speech  and  language  —home  and  personal  management 

— occupational  therapy  — daily  living  skills 

— social  skills 

Students  and  clients,  their  families,  and  funding  agencies  review  results 
of  the  evaluation  and  specific  recommendations  with  the  administrative  staff 
at  Perkins.  It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  staff  to  interpret  all  evaluation  results 
for  individuals,  parents,  and  funding  agencies,  and  to  offer  supportive 
services  in  helping  them  determine  the  best  possible  program  for  the  student 
or  client.  Diagnostic,  therapeutic,  and  direct  service  intervention  at  the 
earliest  possible  age  is  a  primary  goal  at  Perkins. 

If  admission  to  Perkins  is  requested,  an  individual  education  or 
rehabilitation  plan  is  designed.  The  type  and  extent  of  services  offered  to 
each  individual  is  carefully  planned  by  an  interdisciplinary  team  of 
professionals,  parents,  funding  agencies  representatives,  and  students  and 
clients  themselves. 

Examples  of  services  which  are  offered  include: 

— general  academics  — industrial  education 

— practical  academics  — recreation 

— prevocational  training  — counseling 

— vocational  training  — social  services 

— home  and  personal  management        — physical  therapy 

— daily  living  skills  — occupational  therapy 

— orientation  and  mobility  — speech  and  language  therapy 

— music  — social  skills 

— physical  education  — motor  training 

— business  education  — community  experience 

Perkins  recognizes  the  human  and  legal  rights  of  all  students,  clients, 
and  their  families,  and  seeks  their  active  involvement  in  all  aspects  of  the 
evaluation  and  training  until  completion  of  the  program.  Although  a 
considerable  number  of  services  are  provided  on  the  Perkins  campus,  it  is  the 
philosophy  of  the  administration  to  provide  more  off-campus  experiences  in 
various  communities.  An  emphasis  on  career  education,  daily  living  skills 
training,   reality-based  academic  programming,  and  recreation  services, 


Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  77 

necessitate  an  involvement  in  the  community  on  a  consistent  basis. 
Students  and  clients  are  exposed  to  practical  experiences  within  the 
community,  with  particular  emphasis  on  living  options,  recreational 
opportunities,  and  vocational  or  job  placement. 

Programs  are  structured  and  designed  to  serve  blind,  visually  impaired, 
deaf-blind  and  multi-impaired  individuals  with  a  wide  variety  of  functional 
abilities.  The  focus  of  services  includes  both  short-term  and  long-term 
planning.  Particular  attention  is  given  to  appropriate  and  available  life-long 
living  and  work  options  which  will  be  available  to  students  and  clients  upon 
completion  of  their  programs.  Working  closely  with  other  human  service 
agencies  on  long-term  living  and  work  options,  and  serving  as  advocate  for 
students,  clients,  and  their  families  is  a  role  of  the  administration. 

Perkins  shares  information  and  knowledge  of  work  with  the  blind, 
visually  impaired,  deaf-blind,  and  multi-impaired  through  its  extensive 
publications,  in-service  training  program,  and  films.  Consultation  is  provided 
to  professionals  throughout  the  country  on  program  development  for  the 
blind,  visually  impaired,  deaf-blind  and  multi-impaired.  Outreach  services, 
public  education  and  enhancing  community  awareness  are  integral  parts  of 
the  Perkins  program.  Perkins  also  works  closely  with  programs  and  agencies 
in  the  community  which  serve  the  handicapped  in  order  to  enhance  services 
for  a  broad  spectrum  of  individuals. 

Perkins  provides  a  setting  for  the  exploration  of  innovative  programs 
and  research  pertaining  to  visual  impairments,  as  well  as  multiple 
impairments.  Research  to  discover  new  knowledge,  new  approaches,  and 
new  materials  to  enhance  the  community's  effort  on  behalf  of  the  blind, 
visually  impaired,  deaf-blind,  and  multi-impaired  takes  place  on  and  off  the 
campus. 

Perkins  seeks  to  be  responsive  to  the  needs  of  the  population  being 
served  and  to  that  group  needing  service.  Innovative  and  creative  programs 
must  be  conceived,  developed,  maintained  and  constantly  analyzed  to 
determine  their  appropriateness  and  quality.  Perkins  deems  it  essential  that 
its  administrative,  professional  and  support  staffs  maintain  a  sensitive, 
aware  and  professional  attitude;  while  at  the  same  time  offering  a  high  degree 
of  accountability  to  the  individuals,  families  and  funding  agencies  it  seeks  to 
serve.

Finance 


Treasurer's  Report 

The  report  of  the  Treasurer  for  the  year  ended  August  31,  1980,  is 
submitted  herewith.  The  accounts  of  the  Corporation  were  audited  by 
Coopers  &  Lybrand,  and  their  report  is  attached. 

Income  from  tuition  and  board  was  $2,882,614,  an  increase  of 
$6,420  over  last  year,  while  investment  income  of  $1,898,729  was 
$134,804  higher  than  the  previous  year.  Our  increased  tuition  rates 
established  over  a  year  ago  allowed  tuition  income  to  hold  up  well  in  the  face 
of  a  decline  in  the  average  number  of  students  from  224  to  215.  Investment 
income  benefited  from  increased  dividends  and  a  continuation  of  healthy 
interest  rates  on  short-term  bonds.  By  the  end  of  the  year  over  two  million 
dollars  ($2,085,735)  had  been  withdrawn  from  Endowment  Funds  Capital 
for  our  building  program  for  Fire,  Safety  and  Access  for  our  students  so  that 
Investment  Income  will  be  substantially  less  in  the  future.  Total  income  from 
all  sources  including  federal  grants  was  $5,970,594. 

Operating  expenses  of  $7,011,904  were  $974,151  higher  than  the  pre- 
vious year.  Higher  salaries,  health  insurance  and  other  benefits,  and  social 
security  taxes  showed  an  increase  of  $475,697.  Other  expenses  increased  in 
all  our  programs,  the  biggest  item  of  which  was  the  $140,000  increase  in  fuel 
and  electricity  bringing  that  figure  to  $465,000. 

Expenses  for  the  year  exceeded  income  by  $  1 ,04 1 ,3 1 0.  This  amount  was 
charged  $823,185  to  Unrestricted  Invested  Funds  and  $191,125  to  the 
principal  of  the  Deaf-Blind  Fund.  In  the  prior  year,  the  comparable  total 
deficit  was  $406,485. 

The  Howe  Press  sales  showed  an  increase  over  the  previous  year  due  to 
an  increase  in  prices.  We  shipped  8,899  Braillers,  about  200  more  than  last 
year,  so  that  dollar  sales  of  the  Perkins  Brailler  were  $1,651,184,  an  increase 
of  $62,818  from  last  year.  Costs  were  increased  also,  resulting  in  a  net 
operating  income  of  $124,736.  Income  from  its  endowment  was  $9,083 
so  that  the  Press  had  an  excess  of  income  over  expenses  of  $133,819 
for  the  year.

John  W.  Bryant,  Treasurer

INDEPENDENT  CERTIFIED  PUBLIC 
ACCOUNTANTS'  REPORT 


To  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind: 

We  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  as  of 
August  31,  1980,  the  related  condensed  statement  of  current  funds  expenditures  and 
resources  used  to  meet  expenditures,  statement  of  income  and  expense  of  The  Howe 
Press  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  and  summary  of  changes  in  fund  balances  for 
the  year  then  ended.  Our  examination  was  made  in  accordance  with  generally 
accepted  auditing  standards  and,  accordingly,  included  such  tests  of  the  accounting 
records  and  such  other  auditing  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the 
circumstances.  We  previously  examined  and  reported  upon  the  1979  financial 
statements  of  the  School  which  are  included  in  condensed  form  for  comparative 
purposes  only. 

When  legacies  received  are  unrestricted  as  to  principal,  the  School  does  not 
consider  them  as  current  funds  resources  but  adds  them  directly  to  funds  functioning 
as  endowments  as  reflected  in  the  statement  of  changes  in  fund  balances. 

In  our  opinion,  except  that  legacies  unrestricted  as  to  principal  have  not  been 
reflected  as  current  funds  resources,  the  aforementioned  financial  statements  present 
fairly  the  financial  position  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  at  August  31,  1980,  its 
current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  used  to  meet  expenditures,  the  income  and 
expense  of  The  Howe  Press  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  and  the  changes  in  its 
fund  balances  for  the  year  then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted 
accounting  principles  applied  on  a  basis  consistent  with  that  of  the  preceding  year. 

The  financial  statements  referred  to  in  the  foregoing  opinion  are  set  forth  on 
pages  2  to  8,  inclusive,  of  this  report.  Our  examination  was  made  primarily  for  the 
purpose  of  rendering  an  opinion  on  these  basic  financial  statements,  taken  as  a  whole. 
The  other  data  included  in  this  report  on  pages  9  to  17,  although  not  considered 
necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of  financial  position,  current  funds  expenditures  and 
resources  and  changes  in  fund  balances,  are  presented  primarily  for  supplemental 
analysis  purposes.  This  additional  information  has  been  subjected  to  the  audit 
procedures  applied  in  the  examination  of  the  basic  financial  statements  and,  in  our 
opinion,  is  fairly  stated  in  all  material  respects  in  relation  to  the  basic  financial 
statements  taken  as  a  whole.

86  149th  Annual  Report 

NOTES  TO  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS 

A.     Significant  Accounting  Policies: 

1.  In  order  to  ensure  observance  of  limitations  and  restrictions  placed  on  the 
use  of  the  resources  available  to  the  School,  the  accounts  of  the  School  are 
maintained  in  accordance  with  the  principles  of  "fund  accounting."  This  is 
the  procedure  by  which  resources  for  various  purposes  are  classified  into 
funds  that  are  in  accordance  with  activities  or  objectives  specified.  The  con- 
densed statement  of  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  used  to  meet 
expenditures  is  a  statement  of  financial  activities  of  current  funds  related  to 
the  current  reporting  periods.  It  does  not  purport  to  present  the  results  of 
operations  or  the  net  income  or  loss  for  the  period  as  would  a  statement  of 
income  or  a  statement  of  revenues  and  expenses. 

2.  Investments  are  reported  at  their  fair  market  value.  These  assets,  except  for 
special  investments  of  restricted  endowments,  are  pooled  for  investment  pur- 
poses. Income  earned  on  pooled  investments  is  allocated  to  the  participating 
funds  by  the  unit  share  method  (based  on  market  values). 

3.  A  provision  of  $  144,000  has  been  charged  to  the  current  funds  and  accumu- 
lated in  the  reserve  for  maintenance  and  replacements  fund.  Significant 
maintenance  costs  are  applied  against  this  reserve. 

4.  Depreciation  expense  relating  to  the  building  improvements,  machinery 
and  equipment  of  The  Howe  Press  is  computed  on  the  straight-line  basis 
using  the  following  useful  lives: 

Automobiles  5  years 

Building  improvements  40  years 

Machinery  and  equipment  10  years 

5.  Under  a  group  annuity  contract  administered  by  the  Equitable  Life 
Assurance  Society  of  the  United  States,  the  School  makes  contributions 
toward  the  purchase  of  annuities  for  its  employees.  The  total  assets  of 
the  plan  as  of  September  1,  1979  ($3,760,918)  exceeds  the  total  value  of  the 
vested  accrued  annuities  as  of  the  most  recent  valuation  date  ($3,050,125). 
Total  cost  of  the  contract  and  supplemental  payments  charged  to  ex- 
penditures   amounted    to    $296,687    in    1980    and    $296,737    in    1979.

Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Children.  As  such,  it  receives  funds  from  federal 
grants  to  support  programs  carried  out  by  Perkins  School  as  well  as  by  other 
participating  agencies.  Federal  grants  received  include  all  funds  for  the 
Regional  Center;  federal  grants  disbursed  are  principally  funds  remitted  to 
outside  participating  agencies.

THE  PERKINS  ENDOWMENT 

The  Perkins  Program  as  it  has  developed  and  been  maintained  for  our 
one  hundred  and  forty  eight  years  has  relied  upon  a  growing  endow- 
ment at  every  step  along  the  way. 

It  has  been  of  particular  value  in  times  of  economic  uncertainty  like 
the  present  when  public  agencies  are  forced  to  economize  and  look  to 
private  agencies  to  carry  a  maximum  share  of  the  cost  of  their  services. 

The  needs  of  the  handicapped  take  no  note  of  these  fluctuations  in 
the  economy,  or  changes  in  social  attitudes.  Consequently  they  must  be 
met,  year  in  and  year  out,  regardless  of  cost. 

All  the  facilities  we  possess  have  grown  from  small  beginnings.  Our 
activity  is  full  of  "firsts" — first  success  with  deaf-blind;  first  blind  gradu- 
ate to  college;  first  kindergarten;  first  teacher  training  courses,  both  for 
teachers  of  the  blind  and  teachers  of  the  deaf-blind;  first  in  physical  ther- 
apy and  speech  correction;  and  first  in  parent  counseling  for  blind  boys 
and  girls. 

And  we  continue  to  grow  with  the  development  and  expansion  of  re- 
ality based  programs  to  meet  the  needs  of  our  multi-impaired  students 
and  young  adults. 

One  asset  has  made  innovative  programming  possible.  This  is  our 
endowment. 

Every  new  departure  in  education  requires  money  that  has  not  been 
assigned  to  other  purposes.  Usually  it  is  a  small  sum  to  get  a  new  plan 
into  operation.  As  we  look  back  over  our  records  we  can  see  how  little  it 
took  Dr.  Howe  to  teach  Laura  Bridgman.  The  first  of  our  kindergarten 
cottages  in  Jamaica  Plain  cost  Michael  Anagnos  a  relatively  small  sum. 
Dr.  Allen  began  to  train  teachers  at  virtually  no  cost  to  the  school  at  all. 

So  it  has  been  with  each  forward  step.  On  each  occasion  the  extra- 
budgetary  funds  were  available.  No  appropriations  committee  had  to  be 
persuaded  that  what  was  considered  good  enough  for  their  generation 
was  not  good  enough  for  the  next.  Our  trustees,  who  since  our  founding 
have  invariably  welcomed  the  next  step  forward,  put  things  into  motion 
each  time. 

None  of  these  programs  has  remained  small.  Our  psychological  ser- 
vices have  expanded  many  times  as  have  other  areas  such  as  industrial 
education,  orientation  and  mobility,  career  education,  the  Adult  Services, 
and  Deaf-Blind  Programs. 

Endowments  which  are  adequate  to  put  a  program  into  effect  are 
rarely  sufficient  to  keep  it  going.  As  with  every  private  school  and  college 
that  is  keeping  abreast — or  ahead — of  the  times,  Perkins  needs  to  see  its 
endowment  grow.  Through  bequests  and  donations,  and  through  a  few 
government  grants,  we  have  been  able  to  expand  existing  services  and 
add  new  ones  as  needed.  We  are  confident  that  our  friends  will  continue 
to  support  us  in  ever  increasing  amounts.

REPORT  OF  THE  DIRECTOR 


Perkins  will  soon  have  an 
eighth  program  of  education 
and  training.  In  1982,  Potter 
Cottage  will  house  a  pro- 
gram for  more  severely  and 
profoundly  impaired  persons 
than  we  have  ever  served.  This 
new  forty-eight-week  program 
will  ensure  nearly  year-round 
education  and  training  at  Per- 
kins. The  Massachusetts  Rate 
Setting  Commission  has 
approved  an  annual  tuition  of 
$33,120.00  for  this  new  program. 

Alterations  in  Potter  Cottage 
totalling  $83,500.00  are  neces- 
sary to  make  the  three-story 
facility  an  appropriate  setting  for 
our  new  students  to  live  and 
learn.  For  example,  a  small  area 
of  the  first  floor  must  be  modi- 
fied which  will  allow  moderately 
to  severely  orthopedically 
impaired  students  to  bathe  and 
sleep.  Other  alterations  will 
include  a  ramped  entrance  and 
egress,  an  elevator  to  serve  all 


floors,  the  removal  of  lead  paint, 
and  then  the  repainting  of  all 
the  interior. 

We  have  also  extended  our 
programming  to  include  the  0- 
to-3  age  levels,  made  possible  by 
the  receipt  of  a  Federal  Grant. 
Sherry  Raynor  supervises  this 
program,  and  Wilma  Hull  was 
hired  to  supervise  the  program 
for  3-to-5  year-olds,  known 
as  the  Preschool  Program.  Each 
of  these  women  is  a  well-recog- 
nized professional  in  her  field. 

Through  other  grants  we  are 
exploring  vocational  opportuni- 
ties for  the  deaf-blind;  day  pro- 
gramming for  clients  of  the 
Massachusetts  Department  of 
Mental  Health;  and  developing 
housing  in  cooperation  with 
the  Massachusetts  Commission 
for  the  Blind  and  the  Watertown 
Housing  Authority. 

We  have  purchased  a  resi- 
dence four  blocks  from  our 
school  which  we  will  use  as  the 


highest  level  of  community 
residence  training,  and  we  are 
working  cooperatively  in  the 
development  of  low-cost  hous- 
ing at  the  Watertown  Arsenal 
site.  We  will  actually  have  five  to 
fifteen  units  to  manage  there. 

We  now  own  a  small  food 
store  on  North  Beacon  Street  — 

"Perkins  will  soon  have  ...  a 
program  for  more  severely  and 
profoundly  impaired  persons 
than  we  have  ever  served." 

purchased  to  add  another 
dimension  to  our  vocational 
exploration  and  training  effort. 
Called  the  Perkins  Pioneer 
Market,  it  is  two  blocks  east  of 
our  main  entrance.  The  invest- 
ment was  small  ($15,000),  and  it 
is  a  rented  (rather  than  pur- 
chased or  leased)  building. 

Plans  have  been  completed  for 
the  reconstruction  of  all  Perkins 
playgrounds.  This  awaits 
financing  —  through  trustee 
allocations,  gifts  or  bequests.  It 
includes  some  re-landscaping. 
The  planning  was  done  through 
the  Harvard  Community  Assis- 
tance Program  at  little  cost  to  us. 

We  have  developed  extensive 
clinical  service  expertise  to  serve 
the  many  and  varied  programs 
we  now  operate;  we  have  a  rate 
for  respite  care  where  needed, 
and  we  possess  a  wide  range 
of  curriculum  and  staff  compe- 
tencies. There  is  some  discus- 
sion that  a  slightly  modified 
charter  might  put  us  in  a  better 
position  to  use  this  talent  to  help 
meet  current  needs  for  a  given 
population,  where  their  needs 
are  seemingly  closely  related 


to  the  needs  of  the  blind  stu- 
dents and  clients  we  now  serve. 

The  Howe  Press  has  devel- 
oped two  new  products.  The 
"Perkins  Videoscope"  is  for  the 
partially  sighted.  It  is  a  camera 
and  TV  monitor  that  helps  read 
small  print.  The  second  new 
product  is  a  tactual  measuring 
device.  The  braillewriter  price 
was  increased  from  $215  to  $240 
for  domestic  sales  and  is  selling 
for  $305  on  the  foreign  market, 
which  makes  up  75%  of  our 
current  sales.  Most  sales  also 
now  require  cash  in  advance. 

Our  energy  conservation  mea- 
sures saved  us  $68,000  in  oil 
alone,  and  most  of  our  program 
of  conservation  wasn't  com- 
pleted until  after  the  heating 
season  was  over.  Now  a  com- 
puter sends  heat  to  areas  of  the 
campus  on  a  programmed  basis. 
For  example,  a  cottage  may  get 
less  heat  during  the  day  when 
students  are  in  school  than  it 
does  during  the  early  morning 
when  they  are  dressing. 
Hundreds  of  storm  windows 
provide  the  benefit  of  double 
glazing,  and  cubic  yard  after 
cubic  yard  of  insulation  keeps 
the  heat  from  escaping.  (I  have 
not  had  the  radiator  turned 
on  yet  in  my  office.) 

We  are  in  the  planning  stages 
of  our  greatest  and  most  difficult 
and  costly  effort  in  the  matter 
of  making  our  facilities 
orthopedically  accessible  to 
everyone:  a  $300,000  fund-rais- 
ing effort  to  make  our  gymna- 
sium, swimming  pool,  and 
motor  training  facilities  accessi- 
ble. The  Massachusetts  Associa- 
tion for  the  Blind  and  the  Boston 


Center  for  Blind  Children  also 
use  these  facilities. 

As  of  September  1,1980  a 
completely  new  accounting  sys- 
tem was  introduced.  This 
included  separate  financial 
reporting  for  the  Howe  Press. 
This  system  will  provide  the 
information  needed  for  better 
financial  management  in  the 
coming  years.  There  is  no  doubt 
that  new  programs  cost  money 
to  implement,  and  obviously  our 
physical  plants  require  constant 
alteration.  However,  I  feel  much 
of  this  can  be  looked  at  as  invest- 
ments with  returns  yet  to  come. 
The  accounting  system  allows 
us  to  track  this  carefully  and 
evaluate  every  aspect  from  the 
point  of  view  of  being  cost- 
effective. 

Acquisition  mailing  has 
increased  our  donor  base  by 
45%.  Our  investment  of  $27,000 
was  recovered.  This  venture 
has  an  estimated  potential  of 
$96,000  income  over  the  next 
four  years. 

Quality  still  is  a  high  priority 
in  everything  we  do.  Currently, 
we  are  licensed  and  accredited 
by  the  National  Accreditation 
Council,  New  England  Associa- 
tion of  Schools  and  Colleges, 
Office  for  Children,  State  Dept. 
of  Education  —  Chapter  766 
(through  the  Regional  Review 
Board),  and  the  Department 
of  Mental  Health.  We  also  have 
approvals  from  the  Watertown 
Board  of  Health  and  the  Water- 
town  Fire  Department. 

In  the  area  of  teacher  training, 
we  are  still  very  active.  Fifty 
years  has  produced  a  great  deal. 
Our  program  (to  train  teachers 


of  the  blind  and  deaf-blind) 
is  the  oldest  in  the  U.S.A.  Inter- 
nationally, it  is  noteworthy  to 
point  out  we  have  trained  65 
teachers  for  India  alone.  Cur- 
rently we  are  training  the  first 
fully-trained  teacher  of  the  deaf- 
blind  and  the  first  trained  orien- 
tation-and-mobility  instructor 
for  Yugoslavia. 

Another  international  venture 
this  past  year  was  Perkins'  par- 
ticipation in  and  supervising 
of  the  International  Symposium 
on  Blind  Infants  0-3.  The  Sym- 
posium was  held  in  Tel  Aviv, 
Israel  with  Perkins  staff  at  the 
helm  part  of  the  time. 

Publishing  and  public  rela- 
tions efforts  have  not  lessened. 
The  Lantern,  with  its  70,000  cir- 
culation, and  our  annual  report 
are  two  long-time  examples. 
Another  outstanding  accom- 
plishment was  the  publication 
of  our  student- written  booklet 
"Understanding  our  Movement 
Problems." 

In  addition,  we  are  producing, 
or  have  produced:  Sex  Educa- 
tion Curriculum  for  Deaf-Blind; 
a  Curriculum  for  Instructing 
Traumatically  Head-Injured 
Blind;  and  a  Motor  Training 
Manual.  Changed  leadership 
in  the  area  of  publications  and 
public  relations  will  allow  some 
different  thrusts  and  some  new 
opportunities. 

Each  program  supervisor  has 
a  good  grasp  of  his  or  her  area 
of  responsibility.  The  following 
are  exerpts  from  their  annual 
reports: 


During  the  school  year  1980- 
81,  Perkins'  programs  were 
reaccredited  by  the  National 
Accreditation  Council,  and  reli- 
censed  by  the  Massachusetts 
Office  for  Children  and  the 
Regional  Review  Board  of  the 
State  Division  of  Special  Educa- 
tion. In  addition,  the  Adult 
Services  Program  was  licensed 
by  the  Department  of  Mental 
Health. 

We  began  developing  what 
will  be  our  eighth  Perkins  pro- 
gram, the  Severe  Impaired 
Program,  to  be  housed  in  Potter 
Cottage.  It  will  be  a  twelve- 
month program  and  serve 
approximately  twenty  students. 
The  program  has  been  approved 
by  the  766  Regional  Review 
Board,  the  Division  of  Special 
Education  in  Massachusetts, 
and  the  Massachusetts  Rate  Set- 
ting Commission.  We  hope  to 
have  the  program  operational  by 
the  summer  of  1982. 

In  cooperation  with  the 
Watertown  Housing  Authority, 
we  submitted  a  proposal  to 
the  Department  of  Communities 
and  Development  to  purchase 
and  renovate  three  facilities  off- 
campus.  These  facilities  would 
be  used  to  develop  Community 


Residence  and  Independent 
Living  Services  for  multi- 
impaired  and  deaf-blind  stu- 
dents and  clients  upon  comple- 
tion of  their  formal  education 
and  training  at  Perkins.  This 
program  would  serve  twenty- 
four  blind  and/or  deaf-blind 
persons. 

We  continue  to  work  with 
architects  and  developers  of  the 
Watertown  Arsenal  Housing 
Project,  which  will  provide 
apartment  training  and  living  for 
multi-impaired  blind  and  deaf- 
blind  students  and  clients.  We 
also  intend  to  use  two  facilities 
which  Perkins  presently  owns 
off-campus  for  inclusion  in  the 
program.  We  will  select  a  super- 
visor for  this  ninth  Perkins  pro- 
gram in  the  winter  of  1982. 

Finally,  we  operated  Summer 
Programs  during  July  of  1981 
in  the  Preschool,  Lower  School, 
Deaf-Blind,  Adult  Services, 
and  Secondary  Services  pro- 
grams. Nearly  eighty  students 
and  clients  were  served  during 
the  five-week  sessions,  some 
of  whom  were  students  who  are 
enrolled  in  public  school  pro- 
grams during  the  regular  school 
year. 

Kevin  J.  Lessard, 

Assistant  Director 


The  Perkins  Infant-Toddler 
Program  was  initiated  dur- 
ing the  1980-1981  school  year. 
The  Project  serves  12  visually 
handicapped  infants,  ages  birth 
to  3  years,  and  their  parents  or 
principle  caregivers.  The  chil- 
dren are  legally  blind  or  have  a 


visual  impairment  which  will 
require  evaluation,  modification 
of  equipment  or  environment, 
special  techniques,  understand- 
ing and  materials  to  adapt  better 
to  their  home  or  future  school 
setting. 
The  Program  provides  weekly 


home-teaching  stressing  paren- 
tal involvement,  as  well  as  a 
planned  parent-and-infant 
group  program  which  meets  at 
the  Project  at  least  once  a  month. 
The  objectives  for  the  children's 
growth  are  facilitated  by  the 
development  of  a  "life-learning" 
curriculum.  These  learning 
activities  concentrate  on  using 
the  child's  natural  environment 
—  the  home,  neighborhood, 
family,  extended  family  and 
community. 

Because  of  the  importance  of 
assessing  and  measuring  each 
child's  progress,  the  Program 
uses  observation  and  parent- 
reporting  in  addition  to  the 
Maxfield-Bucholz  Social  Matu- 
rity Scale  for  use  with  Preschool 
Blind  Children,  Vision-Up, 


the  Oregon  Project  for  Visually 
Impaired  and  Blind  Preschool 
Children.  Parents  work  together 
with  teachers  in  charting  their 
child's  progress,  after  which 
program  goals  and  curriculum 
are  established. 

Services  for  parents  are  cen- 
ter-based as  well.  Once  a  month, 
a  daytime  program  utilizes  a 
home-like  setting  for  instruc- 
tional purposes  for  the  children 
and  parents.  During  the  same 
time  period,  a  parent  group 
meets  with  the  Social  Worker. 
Monthly  evening  meetings  facil- 
itate a  greater  participation  by 
fathers.  Services  to  parents  also

mation exchange,  a  toy  and 
book  library,  program  planning 
and  evaluation.

The  Preschool  Program,  initi- 
ated in  September  1979, 
continued  to  serve  young  visu- 
ally handicapped  children  and 
their  families  during  the  1980- 
1981  school  year.  Six  children, 
between  the  ages  of  three  and 
five,  attended  the  daily  nursery 
school  program.  Provision  for 
individual  needs  in  all  areas 
of  development  was  facilitated 
by  a  favorable  staff-student 
ratio.  In  addition,  Perkins'  Clini- 
cal Services  provided  the  sup- 
port of  social  work,  psychology, 
occupational  therapy,  physical 
therapy,  speech  and  language 
therapy,  and  audiology. 
Direct  services  to  parents 


included  coordinating  instruc- 
tion between  school  and  home. 
Weekly  home  teaching  visits 
brought  pertinent  information 
about  appropriate  activities 
and  materials  for  parents  to  pur- 
sue with  their  children.  Parent 
meetings  were  also  held  on  a 
regular  basis  at  the  Preschool 
House. 

Two  children  participated  in 
a  4-week  summer  program, 
which  offered  a  variety  of  out- 
door community  experiences 
and  provided  continued  instruc- 
tion based  on  individual  goals 
and  objectives. 

By  June,  1981  three  children 
were  developmentally  ready 


to  move  on  to  a  new  educational 
setting.  Two  entered  Perkins' 
Lower  School. 

The  Preschool  Program  will 
continue  to  explore  the  needs  of 
its  population  and  will  expand 


as  these  needs  are  identified. 
Two  possible  areas  for  future 
development  are:  respite  care  for 
parents,  and  outreach  service 
to  local  schools  and  agencies.

Program  Supervisor 


The  Primary  and  Intermediate 
Program  has  grown  during 
the  past  school  year.  Starting 
with  35  children  at  the  beginning 
of  the  1980  school  year,  the 
enrollment  increased  to  40  by 
the  end  of  the  year,  with  a  proj- 
ected enrollment  of  44  for  1981- 
1982.  Several  new  students 
have  come  from  outside  Massa- 
chusetts, including  three  from 
outside  New  England. 

The  turnover  in  staff  was  rela- 
tively small  which  helped  ensure 
continuity  throughout  the  Pro- 
gram. A  stronger  Behavior  Man- 
agement component  has  been 
used  to  help  a  number  of  stu- 
dents to  focus  on  key  objectives 
in  their  individual  education 
programs.  While  it  is  clear  that 


eleventh  annual  trip  to  the  Cape 
Cod  National  Seashore  in  which 
24  students  and  staff  enjoyed  a 
week-long  adventure  on  the 
shores  of  the  Atlantic.  A  pro- 
gram-wide newspaper  was 
published  by  the  students,  who 
wrote,  printed  and  sold  copies 
of  the  first  edition.  An  expanded 
offering  of  the  Clinical  Services 
at  Perkins  was  the  beginning  of  a 
'sibling  group'  program,  which 
included  a  classroom  teacher 
and  Social  Worker.  This  innova- 
tive service  has  provided  an 
opportunity  for  the  siblings  of  a 
Lower  School  student  to  learn 
to  relate  to  and  understand 
the  limitations  of  their  impaired 
brother,  under  the  guidance 
of  our  staff.  A  very  successful

the  trend  toward  a  more  multi- 
impaired  population  continues, 
several  new  students  manifest 
only  moderate  learning  prob- 
lems. This  suggests  that  their 
stay  at  Perkins  may  be  only  a  few 
years  in  duration.  Each  of  the 
aforementioned  items  marked 
trends  in  the  1980-1981  school 
year. 
Other  highlights  included  our 


Summer  Program  was  again 
held  for  fifteen  students.  The 
creation  of  a  new  concept,  "The 
Diagnostic  Classroom",  which 
restructures  the  school  day 
program  for  certain  students, 
was  one  of  the  items  covered  by 
the  Lower  School  Task  Force. 
An  actual  prototype  of  this  class 
was  begun  in  September,  1981. 
The  Parent's  Group  was 


in 


stronger  than  ever  with  a  Christ- 
mas Party  and  end-of-the-year 
picnic  which  drew  over  sixty 
people.  Up  to  half  of  the  stu- 
dents are  represented  by  the 
active  participants  in  the  Par- 
ents' Group,  which  is  extraordi- 
nary when  one  considers  that 
travel  is  difficult  or  impossible 
for  those  living  at  great 
distances.  The  tremendous  par- 
ent involvement  in  the  Lower 
School  has  been  critical  to  the 
overall  success  of  the  Program, 
and  the  participation  of  the 
parents  is  greatly  appreciated. 


The  total  number  of  staff 
members  working  directly  with 
children  (full-  and  part-time) 
is  numbered  at  over  fifty  in  the 
residential,  clinical  and  educa- 
tion components  of  the  Pro- 
gram. Numbers,  however, 
hardly  tell  the  story.  It  is  told  in 
the  total  dedication  of  the  staff  to 
do  everything  that  will  contrib- 
ute to  the  meaningful  growth 
of  its  students.  It  is  this  total 
team  effort  which  has  been  so 
successful.

The  two  programs  comprising 
Secondary  Services  —  Jr./ 
Sr.  High  and  Special  Programs 
—  continued  to  work  together 
this  year  through  weekly  meet- 
ings of  the  Joint  Planning  Com- 
mittee. The  efforts  were  focused 
on  unifying  curriculum  and 
course  requirements,  and  on  the 
design  of  coursework  for  the 
academic  population  we  serve. 

The  Joint  Planning  Committee 
acted  as  a  steering  committee 
for  several  very  active  subcom- 
mittees. The  pre-vocational  sub- 
committee designed  a  three- 
phase  progression  of  classwork 
and  training,  to  include  evalua- 
tion, exploration  and  specific 
skill  training.  This  progression 
encompasses  the  six-year  span 
of  junior  and  senior  high  school, 
and  simultaneously  serves  the 
ungraded  students  who  hope  to 
leave  Perkins  with  job-ready 
skills. 


The  Independent  Living  Skills 
sub-committee  focused  on  five 
"Apartment  Live-Ins"  we 
provided  on  campus.  These  sim- 
ulated apartment  situations 
provided  the  older  students  with 
the  experience  of  budgeting, 
cooking  and  housekeeping 
in  their  "own"  apartment. 

The  Academic  sub-committee 
concentrated  on  program  plan- 
ning for  students  of  junior  high 
age.  Procedures  for  the  transi- 
tion of  students  from  Lower 
School  to  Secondary  Services 
were  developed,  and  communi- 
cation channels  among  the 
three  programs  were  examined 
and  improved.  The  issue  of 
computerized  educational  plans 
was  also  considered  by  the  Aca- 
demic sub-committee,  part  of  an 
on-going  effort  to  streamline 
the  paperwork  involved  in  Sec- 
ondary programming. 

Houseparents  from  the  five 


11 


Secondary  Services  cottages  met 
regularly  for  in-service  training 
and  for  the  purpose  of  organiz- 
ing the  cottages  along  similar 
lines  whenever  practicable. 
Students  from  each  cottage  met 
with  the  houseparents  to  partici- 
pate in  the  development  of 
standardized  cottage  policies 
and  joint  recreational  programs. 

In  addition  to  the  efforts  of 
the  Joint  Planning  Committee 
and  the  various  sub-committees, 
both  Secondary  programs  con- 
tinued to  expand  services.  A 
clinically-run  parents'  group 
was  offered  within  each  pro- 
gram, and  the  clinical  staff 
joined  forces  with  houseparents 
and  teachers  in  providing  coun- 
seling, social  skills  and  support 
groups  to  students.

In  1981,  the  Deaf-Blind  Pro- 
gram served  sixty  students, 
most  of  whom  were  adoles- 
cents. Consequently,  the  curric- 
ulum continues  to  include  a 
three-fold  emphasis  upon  daily 
living  skills,  prevocational  train- 
ing and  continued  academic 
learning.  The  curriculum  is 
taught  jointly  by  both  classroom 
and  cottage  staff,  who  are  work- 
ing in  a  cooperative  effort  in 
the  teaching  of  independence. 
Especially  unique  facets  of  the 
program  include:  a  variety  of 
programmatic  options  for  a  wide 
range  of  students,  specific  diag- 


nostic and  evaluation  services, 
specific  academic  curricula,  and 
prevocational  assessment  and 
training. 

The  past  year  has  brought  the 
development  and  printing  of 
three  new  curricula:  Sex  Educa- 
tion and  Family  Life  for  the  Deaf- 
Blind,  Science  Curriculum  and  a 
Curriculum  for  Functional,  Applied 
Academics.  Our  federally-funded 
Vocational  Model  Project  (Proj- 
ect A.D.V.A.N.C.E.)  has  been 
moving  ahead  rapidly,  with 
14  students  now  placed  in  on- 
the-job  training  or  employment 
off  campus,  and  many  more 


13 


to  follow  rapidly.  This  project  is 
receiving  national  attention  as 
a  model  for  vocational  training 
of  the  deaf-blind. 

In  June,  a  three-day  parent 
workshop  was  held,  with 
emphasis  upon  the  future  ser- 
vice needs  of  the  deaf-blind 
population  and  the  present  ser- 
vice delivery  here  at  Perkins. 
A  result  of  this  conference  has 
been  reactivation  of  a  parent 
group  and  a  parent  newsletter. 
With  support  of  various  funding 
sources,  it  is  intended  to  make 
this  conference  an  annual  event. 

Recent  trends  over  the  past 
year  show  some  increased  refer- 
ral of  younger  (5-12  years)  stu- 


dents, a  positive  sign  as  one 
ponders  the  long-term  stability 
of  the  deaf-blind  program. 
There  have  also  been  many 
referrals  of  students  who  are 
hearing-impaired  with  multiple 
handicaps,  a  trend  which  has 
provided  the  impetus  to  con- 
sider the  legal  ramifications  of  a 
charter  change.  Through 
slightly  expanding  the  scope  of 
those  we  serve,  Perkins  can 
maintain  a  sizeable  program  for 
students  with  sensory  deficits 
and  communication  difficulties, 
and  thereby  maintain  its  posi- 
tion of  leadership  and  stature  in 
this  ever-evolving  branch  of 
education.

During  the  school  year  1980- 
81,  the  Adult  Services 
Program  continued  to  serve 
multi-impaired  blind  adults 
referred  from  various  state  and 
local  agencies.  The  age  range 
of  our  clients  was  from  18  to  51. 
The  program  focuses  on  inde- 
pendent living  training,  prevo- 
cational  training  and  vocational 
training. 

One  of  the  most  significant 
trends  this  year  has  been  the 
marked  increase  in  the  number 

"One  of  the  most  significant 
trends  .  .  .  has  been  the  marked 
increase  in  the  number  of 
clients  .  .  .  who  are  visually 
impaired  as  a  result  of  a  head 
injury." 


of  clients  referred  to  us  who 
are  visually  impaired  as  a  result 
of  a  head  injury.  These  young 
people  range  in  age  from 
approximately  18  to  22  and  were 
involved  in  motor  vehicle  acci- 
dents. In  addition  to  visual 
impairment,  most  of  these 
young  people  also  have  physical 
impairments  and  cognitive 
problems.  Perkins  has  been 
working  with  recently  blinded 
young  adults  for  several  years, 
and  we  have  been  asked  by 
several  agencies  to  work  with 
this  population,  given  our  suc- 
cessful track  record  in  success- 
fully rehabilitating  other  young 
adults.  With  some  of  the  new 
medical  technologies,  we  are 
feeling  that  this  trend  will  con- 


14 


tinue  in  the  future  and  may, 
in  fact,  expand  significantly. 

Nineteen  young  adults  com- 
pleted their  programming 
during  the  school  year  1980-81 
and  now  live  in  independent 
apartments,  community  resi- 
dences and  staffed  apartment 
programs.  Most  of  these  young 
people  are  gainfully  employed 
either  in  sheltered  workshops  or 
in  competitive  industry.  In  gen- 
eral, we  are  finding  that  we 
are  being  asked  to  work  with  a 


more  and  more  severely  handi- 
capped population.  Many  of 
the  "normal",  blind  young 
adults  are  being  served  success- 
fully in  community-based 
vocational  training  programs, 
and,  therefore,  are  not  being 
referred  to  us.  The  population  of 
severely  handicapped,  visually 
impaired  persons  presents  us 
with  many  challenges,  and  we 
are  excited  about  the  opportu- 
nity to  work  with  this 
population.

In  its  tenth  year  of  certification 
by  the  United  States  Depart- 
ment of  Labor,  the  Work  Activity 
Center  continued  to  adapt  to 
the  changing  needs  of  Perkins 
students  and  clients.  The  center 
provided  training  in  work- 
related  behaviors,  attitudes  and 
skills  for  more  then  eighty  indi- 
viduals enrolled  in  Adult 
Services. 

The  Center  expanded  its 
capacity  to  provide  new  experi- 
ences for  its  clients  and  students 
by  acquiring  a  used  heat-shrink 
packaging  machine.  A  new  drill 
press,  a  belt-sander  and  various 
other  equipment  were  also 
acquired  using  Title  I  funding. 

One  of  the  Center's  new 
customers  this  year  was  Perkins 
itself.  Students  assembled  and 
packaged  over  400  units  of  the 
new  Perkins-Binet  Test  of  Intel- 
ligence. This  contract  provided 
a  variety  of  new  tasks  for  both 
students  and  staff. 


In  addition  to  managing  the 
day-to-day  training  and  busi- 
ness activities  of  the  Center,  the 
staff  also  participated  in  many 
cottage  and  program  activities 
including  group  therapy  ses- 
sions, meal-time  duties, 
machine  shop  instruction,  and 
the  supervision  of  teacher 
trainees.  The  center  also  com- 
pleted over  thirty  pre-entry 
evaluations,  and  either  initiated 
or  participated  in  the  work- 
study  placement  of  individuals 
at  Howe  Press,  the  Kybe  Corpo- 
ration, Ames  Envelope  Com- 
pany, and  Luben's  Rink  Supply 
and  Distribution  Associates, 
Inc. 

Indications  for  the  1981-82 
year  are  as  follows: 

•  Further  adaptation  to  the 
changing  needs  of  students 
and  clients  such  as  those 
enrolled  in  Perkins  new  TEC 
Program.

Expanded  services  to  the 
Deaf-Blind  department  with 
more  students  becoming 
eligible  for  Work  Activities 
programming,  and  supervi- 
sion of  a  work  room  for 
younger  students  on  the 
ground  level  of  the  North 
Building. 

The  development  of  new 
business  relationships  to 
assure  the  availability  of 
work  contracts  that  will 


match  with  individuals' 
capabilities. 

•  The  development  of  a  com- 
prehensive evaluation  for- 
mat to  be  used  in  new 
prevocational  evaluation 
sessions  for  certain  Second- 
ary Services  students. 

•  Further  staff  involvement  in 
non-work  related  activities, 
such  as  case  management 
and  recreational  activities.

Project  A. D. V.A.N. C.E,  a 
federally  funded  vocational 
model  for  deaf-blind  youth, 
completed  the  first  of  three  years 
in  operation  at  Perkins.  Our 
staff  of  six  spent  a  good  part  of 
the  year  researching  existing 
vocational  training  programs, 
assessing  viable  kinds  of  jobs, 
and  planning  our  own  model. 
After  looking  at  the  capabilities 
of  the  individual  deaf-blind 
students  in  on-campus  voca- 
tional training,  six  were  moved 
off-campus  second  semester 
to  actual  work  sites  for  job 
training. 

This  training  has  been  invalu- 
able not  only  in  teaching  specific 
work  tasks,  but  in  teaching 
appropriate  work  behaviors 
such  as  punctuality,  adaptabil- 
ity, socialization,  and  response 
to  pressure.  This  trend  to  more 
community-based  training  will 
continue  next  year,  with  four- 
teen work-site  placements 
already  secured.  The  coopera- 


tion of  employers  in  the  local 
community  has  been  an  out- 
standing reason  for  the  success 
of  our  training. 

Given  the  model  nature  of  the 
contract,  our  primary  goal  is  to 
demonstrate  a  successful  pro- 
gram which  can  be  replicated 
nationwide  by  other  programs. 
For  this  reason,  a  priority  this 
year  has  been  to  set  in  place 
systems  for  vocational  training 
and  data  collection,  the  latter 
to  measure  change  in  students' 
performance  and  in  employers' 
attitudes.  A  questionnaire  was 
sent  to  parents  to  assess  their 
concerns  for  their  childrens' 
long-term  vocational  goals.  For- 
mation of  a  Vocational  Resource 
Library  is  completed.  Project 
staff  have  responded  this  year  to 
requests  for  presentations  and/ 
or  exhibits  of  our  model  at 
conferences.  It  is  expected  that 
this  kind  of  dissemination 
activity  will  increase  over  the 
next  two  years.

The  major  effort  of  the  Die- 
tary, Laundry,  and  House- 
keeping Department  in  1981  was 
to  provide  quality  food  service 
to  the  students  and  staff  of 
Perkins  at  a  minimal  cost.  With- 
out sacrificing  quality  or 
quantity,  we  were  able  to  pro- 
vide these  services  at  a  cost  of 
$70,000.00  below  budget.  Strict 


cost  controls,  experienced  per- 
sonnel, and  daily  vigilance  made 
this  savings  possible. 

In  1981,  this  department 
served  over  225,000  meals  and 
expended  85,000  hours  in  labor 
to  provide  meals,  teach  students 
minimal  skills  in  food  service 
and  housekeeping,  and  main- 
tain cleanliness  in  the  cottages.

As  of  September  1,  1980,  we 
introduced  a  completely 
new  accounting/management 
information  system,  which 
included  a  separate  system  for 
Howe  Press. 

Perkins  was  separated  into 
over  200  cost  centers  by  func- 
tional area  within  educational 
programs  and  by  operating 
areas  in  noneducational  depart- 
ments. This  allows  for  budget- 
ing and  reporting  by  cost  center 
within  each  department.  To 
input  this  information  a  new 
general  ledger  was  designed, 
with  a  corresponding  chart  of 
accounts  which  contains  more 
than  6,000  separate  accounts. 
Reports  are  produced  by  cost 
center  and  summarized  by  pro- 
gram or  by  the  operating  area 
which  they  relate  to. 

An  accounts  payable  system 
was  developed  which  allowed 
the  recording  of  expenses  on  an 
accrual  basis.  There  are  2,000 


active  vendors  on  the  system. 
They  will  be  issued  approxi- 
mately 15,000  checks  in  1981-82. 

A  new  payroll  system  was 
instituted  which  provides  for 
cost  center  reporting  and  for 
benefit  accrual  computation  for 
hourly  employees  on  each 
paycheck.  Working  with  our 
local  bank,  direct  deposit  of 
payroll  checks  was  imple- 
mented. This  coming  year  we 
will  issue  in  excess  of  20,000 
payroll  checks. 

In  addition,  other  operational 
changes  were  made  including 
placing  32  Food  Service  Workers 
on  the  Perkins  payroll  instead 
of  Seilers,  changing  the  pay 
period  frequency,  and  imple- 
menting additional  controls  over 
disbursements. 

This  system  will  provide  the 
financial  information  needed  for 
us  to  manage  Perkins  School 
for  the  Blind  in  the  coming  years.

The  major  effort  in  the  Devel- 
opment Office  in  1981  was 
directed  toward  raising  funds  to 
provide  handicapped  access  to 
the  gymnasium-pool  area.  With 
the  assistance  of  the  Hayden 
Foundation  challenge  grant,  we 
expect  to  complete  successfully 
this  $300,000  capital  fund-rais- 
ing project  by  May  1982.  Reno- 
vation and  construction  will 


start  this  spring  and  be  com- 
pleted by  the  summer  of  1983. 

Acquisition  mailing  was  initi- 
ated and  was  extremely  success- 
ful, accounting  for  a  major 
portion  of  the  continued 
upsurge  in  the  annual  fund 
appeal  (Children  of  the  Silent 
Night).  Over  2,000  new  donors 
were  acquired  who  gave  us 
$32,000,  and  we  shall  continue 
this  program  in  1981-82. 


Henry  F.  Colt,  Jr., 

Development  Director 


The  overall  goal  of  the  Person- 
nel Department  will  be  to 
centralize  all  employment,  wage 
and  salary,  policies  and  proce- 
dures, benefit  and  pension 
administration,  employee  rela- 
tions, supervisory  training, 
record-keeping  and  statistics. 

Since  the  activity  level  of  the 
department  is  and  will  be 
increasing,  an  additional  profes- 
sional staff  member  was  hired 
to  be  primarily  responsible  for 
the  largest  simple  segment  of  the 
department's  activities,  namely 
employment. 

During  the  course  of  Fiscal 


Year  1981,  Perkins  hired  172 
employees  out  of  1,047  appli- 
cants who  applied  for  positions 
at  the  school. 

The  major  objectives  for  the 
department  during  Fiscal  Year 
1982  are  as  follows:  centraliza- 
tion of  the  employment  func- 
tions; distribution  of  an 
employee  handbook;  develop- 
ment of  a  Personnel  Policy  Man- 
ual for  Supervision; 
centralization  of  the  pension 
and  benefit  administration; 
development  of  performance 
approval  forms.

T 


he  Office  of  Instructional  Programs  encompasses  a  variety  of 
services: 


Curriculum  Development  —  We  have  18  curricula  printed  and  bound  and 
stored  at  Howe  Press  for  sale  and  distribution.  Completed  this  past 
year  was  the  following:  "Food  Service  Curriculum",  "Sex  Education:  A 
Curriculum  for  the  Deaf-Blind",  and  "Science  Curriculum  (Deaf- 
Blind)".  In  various  stages  of  development  now  are  "A  Motor  Training 
Manual",  "Personal  Care  Curriculum"  and  "Head  Injured  Curricu- 
lum". Prices  of  these  publications  range  from  $3.00  to  $20.00.  Sales  for 
the  year  totaled  $2,101.35.  This  figure  includes  curriculum  (approxi- 
mately 80%)  and  other  publications  (20%). 

Grant  Development  —  Title  I  and  Title  IV  B  grants  totaled  $117,170.  Title  I 
monies  (Mass.)  used  for  salaries  of  Clinical  Services  staff  totaled 
$79,050;  and  for  Mobility  Department  staff  was  $27,200.  Funding  from 
other  states  under  Title  I  added  to  $10,920.  This  money  was  used  for 
partial  payment  of  a  Work  Activities  Instructor's  salary.  The  Title  IV  B 
grant  brought  us  $556.00  and  was  used  to  purchase  A-V  hardware 
for  the  In-Service  training  program. 

Instructional  Materials  Services  —  The  Instructional  Materials  Center 
was  relocated.  Now  located  in  the  Howe  Building,  it  continues  to  serve 
the  entire  school  by  maintaining  all  school  A-V  equipment,  loaning 
same,  working  cooperatively  with  teachers  in  the  development  of 
teaching  materials  and  programs,  arranging  for  and  conducting  filming 
and  showing  of  films,  maintaining  hearing  aid  services,  and  other 
associated  functions. 

School  Library  —  The  school  library  also  was  relocated  this  year.  It  is 
now  located  in  the  West  Study  Hall  of  the  Howe  Building  and  is  staffed 
by  a  half-time  librarian  (20  hours  per  week)  and  a  secretary  (3  hours 
per  week).  The  school  library  serves  all  programs  at  Perkins.  It  makes 
available  to  teachers  and  students  reference  materials  in  various  media 
to  provide  support  for  textbook  materials  and  performs  a  variety  of 
duties  to  support  this  function. 

Safety  and  Security  — 

AEC  —  Seven  administrators  provided  coverage  to  satisfy  regula- 
tions and  to  provide  the  school  with  an  emergency  system  for  non- 
school  hours. 

Fire  Evacuation  —  Perkins  far  surpassed  mandates  of  agencies  licen- 
sing us  in  regard  to  fire  evacuation.  Fifty-four  (54)  planned  drills 
were  held  during  the  school  year;  fourteen  (14)  were  held  during 
Summer  School.  In  addition,  seventy-eight  (78)  unplanned  evacu- 
ations occurred. 

Policy  Development  —  The  completion  of  the  "Policy  on  Personal  Elec- 
trical Appliances"  now  gives  Perkins  nine  (9)  policies  on  Safety 
and  Security.  A  system  is  in  effect  for  the  distribution  of  the  poli- 
cies to  all  staff  members.  Plans  call  for  revising  the  Smoking  Policy 
and  more  policy  writing  in  areas  of  poison  and  storage  of 

flammables. 

21 


Accident  Reporting  —  All  staff  and  student  accidents  are  investigated 
by  this  committee.  Recommendations  are  made  where  appropri- 
ate. Thirty  staff  accident  reports  were  received  this  year. 

Inspections  —  All  cottages  and  school  buildings  were  inspected.  This 
will  be  an  annual  procedure. 

Parking  and  Traffic  —  Handicapped  spaces  were  added  to  all  three 
parking  lots.  A  system  of  enforcement  of  parking  violations  was 
initiated.  It  needs  continued  emphasis. 

In-Service  Training  — 

Fire  Extinguisher  Demonstration  —  October. 

Driver  Training  —  39  staff  members  received  driving  training.  We 
plan  to  schedule  all  staff  members.

Courses  Taught  at  Other  Agencies  by  In-Service  Trainer  —  Courses  num- 
bered 7.  65  hours  were  spent  by  our  trainer.  Fees  charged  for  this 
service  totaled  $975.00. 

Courses  Taught  by  In-Service  Trainer  —  These  courses  included  First 
Aid  and  CPR  (123  participants).  Physical  Intervention  (50),  and 
Water  Safety  Courses  (13).  Approximately  2/3  to  3A  of  the  trainer's 
working  hours  are  spent  on  instruction,  preparation  and  follow- 
up. 

In-Service  training  gained  a  room  of  its  own  for  instruction  this  year. 

Volunteers  —  Perkins  continues  to  utilize  the  services  of  volunteers  at 
an  average  rate  of  12  per  day  on  weekdays  and  6  per  day  on  weekends. 
They  serve  as  academic,  cottage,  and  recreational  aides. 

Licensing  and  Accreditation  —  Our  major  licenses  are  from  O.F.C., 
D.M.H.,  and  the  Department  of  Special  Education  (766).  Accredita- 
tions are  by  N.A.C.  and  N.E.A.S.C. 

Transportation  —  Daily,  weekly,  and  holiday  transport  by  cab,  bus, 
train,  and  plane  is  organized  and  conducted  for  all  students  who 
request  it.  148  of  our  students  regularly  use  this  service.  Perkins'  fleet 
of  eight  (8)  cars  is  used  heavily.  Each  car  is  signed  out  on  an  average 
of  10+  hours  per  day. 

National  School  Lunch  Program  —  The  Milk  Program  brought  in 
$10,359.39  as  reimbursement  this  year.  Statistics  are  not  available  on 
the  value  of  the  Commodities  Program. 

Civil  Defense  —  Sales  from  the  fallout  shelter  involved  chairs,  blankets, 
sheets,  lamps,  radio  equipment,  basins,  and  barrels.  Total  sales  for 
1980-1981  were  $1,534.12.  Balance  previous  to  that  was  $1,436.75.  The 
current  balance,  therefore,  is  $2,970.87. 

Keys  —  On  a  daily  basis,  keys  of  five  (5)  types  are  issued  to  staff  mem- 
bers from  this  office.  They  include  keys  for  cars,  (emergency)  pond, 
pool,  Howe  Building,  and  tandem  bikes.  Approximately  six  (6)  keys  are 
issued  each  day. 


Rental  and  Use  of  Space  —  This  office  took  over  responsibility  for  rental  of 
space  in  October,  1981.  Since  then,  forms,  contracts,  and  appropriate 
notification  devices  have  been  developed.  A  few  facts  and  details  are 
listed  below. 
Swimming  Pool  —  Five  (5)  agencies  now  rent  our  pool  a  total  of  8  hours 

per  week. 
Health  Club  —  A  second  10-week  Health  Club  is  now  in  progress. 
Person-hours  per  year  in  this  program  are  approximately  1,040. 
Run  for  Life  —  This  program  conducted  by  Medical  Care  Affiliates 
runs  all  year  at  Perkins.  From  September  1980  to  August  1981, 
figures  are  as  follows:  84  sessions,  IV2  hours  per  session,  126  total

Clinical  Services  completed 
its  third  year  of  formal  oper- 
ation. Having  evolved  from  the 
two  departments  of  Social 
Services  and  Psychology  and 
Guidance  in  1978,  it  is  presently 
a  comprehensive  spectrum  of 
clinical  specialists.  In  the  past 
few  years,  many  Clinical  Ser- 
vices staff  members  have  been 
recruited  to  maintain  high-qual- 
ity integrated  service  to  increas- 
ingly multi-impaired  blind  and 
deaf-blind  students  and  clients 
at  Perkins  School. 

The  specialists  who  comprise 


increasingly  refined  interdisci- 
plinary approach.  In  addition  to 
providing  more  accountable 
and  efficient  services,  this 
approach  increases  staff  knowl- 
edge of  the  various  specialists 
through  regular  discussion  and 
modeling,  is  more  cost  effective, 
and  ensures  the  greatest  thera- 
peutic and  educational  gains 
for  each  student. 

Perkins  School  continues  to 
provide  complete  medical 
services  and  other  specialized 
medical  consultations  through  a 
contract  agreement  with  Gen- 


"The  specialists  who  comprise  Clinical  Services 
include  psychologists,  occupational  therapists,  phys- 
ical therapists,  behavior  management  specialists, 
an  educational  assessment  specialist,  an  audiologist, 
and  an  evaluation  supervisor." 


Clinical  Services  include  psy- 
chologists, social  workers,  occu- 
pational therapists,  physical 
therapists,  behavior  manage- 
ment specialists,  an  educational 
assessment  specialist,  an  audiol- 
ogist, and  an  evaluation  supervi- 
sor. A  psychologist  and  a  social 
worker  are  assigned  on  a  full- 
time  basis  to  each  of  the  educa- 
tional and  rehabilitative  pro- 
grams; other  clinical  specialists 
are  assigned  to  each  program 
on  either  a  full-  or  part-time 
basis,  depending  on  the  needs 
of  the  students  in  any  given 
program.  Together,  program- 
oriented  Clinical  Services  teams, 
supervisors,  teachers,  and  cot- 
tage staff  work  in  close  coopera- 
tion to  provide  a  comprehensive 
network  of  integrated  and  visi- 
ble services  which  reflect  an 


eral  Medical  Associates.  We 
are  also  pleased  to  announce 
that  dental  screenings  and  sub- 
sequent preventive  and  restora- 
tive services  are  now  being 
provided  by  the  Tufts  Dental 
Facility  for  the  Handicapped. 
The  Coordinator  of  Clinical 
Services  has  the  responsibility  to 
assign  and  supervise  all  Clinical 
Services  staff  and  to  ensure 
that  necessary  clinical  and  medi- 
cal services  are  provided  to  each 
student  or  client.  To  that  end, 
close  communication  is  main- 
tained with  program  supervi- 
sors: regular  task  force  and 
steering  committee  meetings  are 
held  within  the  various  pro- 
grams, and  consistent  collabora- 
tion between  the  Coordinator 
and  Clinical  Services  staff  mem- 
bers is  scheduled  as  a  basic 


means  of  sharing  information 
about  programs  and  clinical 
issues. 

A  major  responsibility  of  all 
Clinical  Services  personnel, 
as  well  as  program  staff,  involves 
a  comprehensive  evaluation 
service  for  individuals  who  are 
referred  to  Perkins  School  for 
admission  or  recommendations 
to  existing  programs.  This  eval- 
uation process  is  coordinated  by 
a  Supervisor  of  Evaluations  who 
has  daily  contact  with  the  Coor- 
dinator of  Clinical  Services. 
Perkins  received  100  requests  for 
evaluation  during  the  past  year 
and  conducted  77  evaluations 
which  consisted  of  one  or  two 
full  days  of  assessment  by  clini- 
cal and  other  relevant  staff.  It 
is  interesting  to  note  that  a  com- 
pilation of  recent  data  revealed 
the  following  statistics:  a  one- 
day  comprehensive  evaluation 
involved  an  average  total  of 
47  hours  of  staff  time  per  student 
or  client,  and  a  two-day  evalua- 
tion involved  an  average  of  62 
staff  hours  by  clinical  and  pro- 
gram staff.  Fees  billed  for  these 
evaluations  represent  between 
35-40  percent  of  the  actual  cost  to 
Perkins  School  for  staff  time 
involved  in  each  evaluation. 
However,  it  is  also  significant 
that  approximately  55  percent  of 
those  persons  evaluated  were 
subsequently  admitted  to  Per- 
kins School  for  programming. 
This  admission  rate  indicates  a 
sizeable  increase  of  persons 
actually  admitted  when  com- 
pared to  the  statistics  of  previous 
years.  Further  information 
regarding  this  refined  evaluation 


process  is  readily  available  upon 
request. 

Unfortunately,  an  elaborate 
explanation  of  the  objectives  and 
goals  attained  within  Clinical 
Services  during  the  past  year  is 
beyond  the  scope  of  this  report. 
We  are  very  pleased  to  note  that 
many  previously  stated  goals 
are  being  fulfilled  at  the  present 
time.  We  are  continuing  to 
refine  the  interdisciplinary  team 
approach  within  the  educational 
and  rehabilitation  programs, 
as  well  as  increasing  efficiency  of 
Clinical  Service  delivery  with 
more  beneficial  and  appropriate 
input  to  students/clients.  Greater 
cost  effectiveness  through  an 
integrated  and  visible  approach 
is  being  realized.  In-service 
training  opportunities  for  pro- 
gram staff  through  team  meet- 
ings and  planned  seminars, 
as  well  as  greater  outreach  and 
liaison  services  to  community 
agencies  by  way  of  a  "consulta- 
tion and  educational"  approach 
has  become  an  integral  part  of 
Clinical  Services.  A  major 
emphasis  is  being  placed  on 
providing  more  direct  and 
appropriate  contact  with  stu- 
dents/clients and  their  families 
through  a  case  management 
model,  as  well  as  improving 
responsiveness  in  situations  of 
crisis  intervention,  and  increas- 
ing group  work  opportunities 
involving  students/clients  and 
relevant  program  staff.  Staffings 
and  case  conferences  have 
resulted  in  improved  accessibil- 
ity and  communication  with 
all  program  staff. 

Staff  development  opportuni- 


25 


ties  have  been  enhanced  through 
a  refined  system  of  peer  supervi- 
sion and  program  review  within 
Clinical  Services,  as  well  as 
continued  participation  in 
professional  conferences  and 
seminars.  Increasing  our  affilia- 
tions with  colleges  and  universi- 
ties by  providing  opportunities 
for  clinical  internships  continues 
to  be  a  primary  objective. 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind 


and  Clinical  Services  will  con- 
tinue to  maintain  an  attitude 
of  noncomplacency  regarding 
the  quality  of  services  to  stu- 
dents and  clients.  Although  we 
take  pride  in  the  milestones 
thus  far  achieved,  we  will  con- 
tinue to  critically  examine  our 
services  with  the  objective  of 
maximizing  the  potential  and 
future  independence  of  each 
student  and  client.

Perhaps  the  most  signifi- 
cant accomplishment  in 
the  area  of  Public  Relations  and 
Publications  in  1981  was  that 
The  Lantern  mailing  list  was 
computerized.  This  will  allow  us 
to  disseminate  70,000  copies  of 
The  Lantern  on  a  regularly  sched- 
uled basis  (November,  Febru- 
ary, and  May)  during  the  school 
year.  In  addition,  The  Lantern's 
format  has  changed.  Its  larger 
(6"  x  9")  size  will  facilitate  the 
inclusion  of  more  copy  and 
photos.  The  editorial  accent  in 
1982  will  be  to  report  on  new  and 
existing  education  and  training 
programs  and  stories  of  human 
interest. 

Late  in  the  year  we  began 
developing  an  "identity  pro- 
gram" which  will  take  us  the 
bulk  of  1982  to  complete  and 
implement.  This  program 
involves  the  development  and 
production  of  a  coordinated 
series  of  informational  bro- 
chures. Each  Perkins  program 
will  have  its  own  brochure, 
and  an  "overview"  package  — 
which  will  define  the  total 


Perkins  picture  —  will  be 
produced  to  accommodate 
inclusion  of  the  brochures. 
When  completed,  this  program 
will  offer  an  up-to-date  package 
of  information  on  all  aspects  of 
Perkins  which  can  be  dissemi- 
nated to  lay  persons  as  well  as 
professionals. 

Major  objectives  for  1982,  in 
addition  to  the  completion  of  the 
above  "identity"  program,  are: 

•  production  of  "public  ser- 
vice announcements"  to  be 
broadcast  on  major  Boston 
television  and  radio  stations; 

•  production  and  distribution 
of  a  "media  kit"  to  be  dis- 
tributed to  local,  regional, 
and  national  newspapers 
and  magazines  in  hope 

of  stimulating  interest  in 
Perkins; 

•  and  production  and  dissem- 
ination of  publicity  for  the 
International  Symposium 
("Past,  Present,  and  Future 
Roles  of  Residential  Schools 
for  the  Blind")  which  Per- 
kins will  sponsor  June  20-23, 
1982.

Coordinator 


With  Perkins  programs  in  the  hands  of  supervisors  such  as  those 
whose  reports  are  summarized  in  the  preceding  paragraphs,  the 
future  for  Perkins  is  bright.

NEW  ENGLAND  REGIONAL  CENTER  FOR 
SERVICES  TO  DEAF-BLIND  CHILDREN  1981 


r\  ry  r-    Deaf-Blind  students  in 
AmO\D   New  England  received 
services  during  the  1980-1981 
school  year.  Of  these,  200  bene- 
fitted by  added  attention 
through  over  $900,000  in  Federal 
funds,  administered  by  the 
New  England  Center  for  Ser- 
vices to  Deaf-Blind  Children 
under  the  sponsorship  of  Per- 
kins School  for  the  Blind.  The 
students  receive  educational 
programming  in  30  agencies, 
located  in  the  six-state  region. 
Perkins  School  is  a  major  service 
provider  in  the  field.  The  agen- 
cies include  public,  state  and 
private  schools. 

When  first  funded  by  Federal 
grant  in  1969,  the  Regional 
Center  had  a  budget  of  about 
$178,000.  The  Perkins  Deaf- 
Blind  program  numbered  38  stu- 
dents from  across  the  country 
and  was  projecting  a  growth  to 
about  80  students  by  1972, 
mainly  because  of  the  effects  of 
the  rubella  epidemic  of  1964-65. 

Case-finding,  diagnosis,  and 
evaluation  were  of  high  priority 
at  the  Center  in  its  formative 
years.  Subsequent  emphasis  has 
been  upon  encouraging  the 
growth  of  expertise  in  teaching 
staff,  enrichment  of  programs 
through  support  of  direct  ser- 
vices salaries,  and  transfer  of 
skills  from  established  programs 
to  those  whose  mandate  had 
widened  to  provide  education 
services  for  students  with  handi- 
caps reaching  beyond  the  com- 


bined visual  and  hearing 
impairment. 

A  complementary  develop- 
ment has  been  Federal  Public 
Law  94-142  (The  Education 
of  All  Handicapped  Children 
Act)  which  in  1974  gave  impetus 
to  special  programs  to  be  pro- 
vided in  community  settings  to 
all  school-age  individuals  who 
had  been  denied  education 
services  for  many  reasons,  such 
as  handicaps. 

The  term  "education"  has 
grown  to  mean  not  only  tradi- 
tional academics,  but  also  basic 
developmental  skills  and  thera- 
pies. Training  which  addresses 
these  areas  is  necessary  in  order 
that  these  individuals  may  reach 
their  maximum  potential  for 
integration  into  society. 

The  Regional  Library  Center 
continues  with  its  monetary 
support  of  education  services  for 
deaf-blind  children  and  in  its 
role  as  a  resource  provider  for 
those  engaged  in  the  delivery  of 
such  services  and  to  families. 
The  emphasis  of  the  consulting 
staff  at  the  Center  has  shifted 
in  two  directions,  one  due  to  an 
older  student  group,  the  other  to 
national  trends  in  special 
education. 

The  "rubella  wave"  children 
are  now  in  mid-teens,  and  will 
need  a  continum  of  services 
as  they  outgrow  education  enti- 
tlements and  seek  work  or 
work-like  activities  in  competi- 
tion with  others  with  similar 


28 


needs.  The  Regional  Center 
seeks  to  smooth  the  transition 
for  this  group,  and  has  a  Long- 
Term  Planning  Consultant  to 
help  in  the  process. 

Newly  discovered  deaf-blind 
children  are  often  initially 
placed  in  special  needs  pro- 
grams in  their  home  towns. 
Trained  teachers  of  the  deaf- 
blind  are  not  routinely  available 
in  such  settings,  because  of 
the  low-incidence  of  the  dual 
handicaps.  In  such  cases,  the 
Center  will  bring  expertise  to  the 
class.  The  Education  Consultant 
is  a  key  element  in  this  service, 
being  able  to  observe  and  give 
expertise  to  the  local  special 
needs  teacher. 

"The  term  'education'  has 
grown  to  mean  not  only  tradi- 
tional academics,  but  also  basic 
developmental  skills  and 
therapies." 

Families  of  deaf-blind  chil- 
dren learn  about  adapting 
to  the  daily  needs  of  their 
handicapped  member,  and  usu- 
ally develop  skill  in  seeking 
medical  and  educational  ser- 
vices. A  sense  of  community 
with  like  families  is  often  helpful 
in  coping  with  the  search  for 
services  and  adapting  to  disrup- 
tion. A  new  panoply  of  issues 
also  arises  for  families  when  the 
handicapped  member  turns 
age  21,  when  normally  the  adult 
would  seek  its  independence. 
The  Family  Needs  Consultant  at 
the  Center,  through  parent 
groups,  workshops,  individual 
counseling  and  advocacy  works 


to  ameliorate  family  difficulties, 
educate  to  new  needs,  and  pro- 
vide paths  to  long-term  ability  to 
cope. 

The  Center  operates  a 
resource  library,  and  is  the 
intermediary  with  Washington, 
other  regions,  and  states  on 
contractual  matters.  For  these 
and  other  administrative  roles,  it 
has  a  Coordinator  and  a 
Secretary. 

The  Center  sponsored  a  three- 
day  workshop  in  September  of 
1980,  attended  by  56  new  staff 
from  across  New  England.  A 
guide  to  education  agencies  was 
published  with  a  procedure 
for  interagency  visitations  by 
staff,  to  provide  a  practical  form 
of  in-service  training.  The  Cen- 
ter underwrote  travel  to  accom- 
plish such  visits.  A  two-day 
parents'  workshop  trained  par- 
ents in  the  education  laws,  legal 
guardianship  issues  and  advo- 
cacy for  services. 

The  Center  reprinted  four 
teacher-oriented  publications 
and  replenished  five  other  titles 
from  available  sources  for  distri- 
bution to  deaf-blind  teaching 
staff  and  others  as  needed.  A 
total  of  1,321  individual  books 
and  articles  were  shipped  dur- 
ing the  year.  The  lending  library 
circulated  another  287  items. 

Three  Regional  Advisory 
Committee  meetings  were  held 
to  ensure  the  participation  of 
professionals  in  planning  and  in 
developing  directions  for  pro- 
gramming. Other  meetings 
were  held  at  regular  intervals  in 
order  to  ensure  that  parents' 
and  agencies'  interests  are  rep- 


29 


resented  in  Center-sponsored 
activities.  To  help  publicize 
its  activities,  the  Center  issues  a 
newsletter  at  regular  intervals. 

During  the  1980-81  school 
year,  the  effects  of  changes  in 
Federal  policy  regarding  social 
services  and  education  were 
becoming  evident  through  gen- 
eral budget  cuts  and  conversion 
from  categorical  funding  to  a 
block  grant  philosophy.  Possible 


outcomes  will  be  an  increased 
dependence  on  state,  private, 
and  business  resources  for  assis- 
tance in  maintaining  needed 
services. 

The  third  year  of  a  five-year 
extendable  contract  with  the 
Department  of  Education  was 
completed  on  June  30,  1981. 
A  fourth  year  extension  has  been 
awarded  to  cover  the  period 
through  June  30,  1982.

REPORT  OF  THE  PRESIDENT— 1980-1981 


Gathering  here  at  Perkins  each  year  to  complete  the  business  of  the 
Corporation  is  a  highlight  for  me  and,  I  am  sure,  the  rest  of  the  Trust- 
ees. Each  year  there  is  a  substantial  number  of  people  who,  collec- 
tively, represent  centuries  of  service  to  Perkins.  There  are  lOth-year 
service  anniversaries,  such  as  Mrs.  Mason  Fernald  (Helen)  and  myself; 
20th  anniversaries,  such  as  Roland  Achin  (actually  21);  John  Lowell, 
25  years;  John  Bryant,  30  years;  and  so  it  goes. 

All  this  leads  me  to  the  point  of  welcoming  newcomers,  whose  elec- 
tion we  just  consummated.  They  will  offer  their  help  and  support  to 
Perkins  through  their  talents  over  time  to  come. 

Energy  and  finance  have  been  a  part  of  my  report  each  year  for  the 
past  two  years  and,  again,  I  must  speak  on  these  matters.  Let  me  begin 
with  finances. 

We  continue  to  find  it  impossible  to  carry  out  the  needed  programs 
without  using  a  portion  of  our  funds  functioning  as  endowment.  How- 
ever, the  friends  of  Perkins  continue  to  grow  in  number  and  increase 
their  support.  Approximately  46%  of  our  annual  budget  comes  from 
other  than  tuition  income.  No  state  or  federal  agencies  have  built  a 
building  at  Perkins,  and  the  major  renovations  continue  to  be  done 
with  private  funds. 

A  good  year  of  Braillewriter  sales  has,  along  with  increased  efforts  in 
fundraising  (you  may  recall  last  year  we  hired  a  Development  Director, 
Harry  Colt)  and  the  receipt  of  a  significant  amount  of  money  through 
gifts  and  bequests,  kept  our  financial  status  from  eroding. 

Energy  and  energy  costs  are  daily  subjects  of  conversation.  I  won't 
dwell  on  this  much  but  want  to  report  that  most  or  all  Perkins  buildings 
are  now  insulated,  double-glazed,  and  on  an  energy  control  program. 
Heat  is  sent  to  where  it  is  needed  by  a  computer,  and  the  demands 
on  the  boilers  are  lessened  when  the  computer  says  less  heat  is  needed 
here  or  there.  The  energy  grant  I  reported  last  year  was  received  and 
the  work  accomplished. 

We  have  always  prided  ourselves  on  the  manner  in  which  Perkins 
finances  were  handled.  Now  the  manner  of  reporting  is  a  new  and 
exciting  management  tool.  Later  the  Director  will  report  briefly  on  the 
changes  in  the  accounting  system. 

There  is  a  growing  interest  and  awareness  in  Perkins  programs  by 
agencies  such  as  the  Massachusetts  Commission  for  the  Blind,  the 
Massachusetts  Rehabilitation  Commission,  and  the  Massachusetts 
Department  of  Mental  Health. 

In  the  face  of  Chapter  766  and  Proposition  2V2,  we  are  holding  up 
quite  well.  New  and  creative  programming  has  been  the  key.  A  strong, 
well-organized,  and  well-recognized  Clinical  Services  program  draws 


33 


the  attention  of  professionals  who  seek  placement  for  difficult-to-pro- 
gram  students  and  clients.  There  is  thus  continued  and  growing  confi- 
dence in  Perkins. 

Several  items  in  brief: 

1.  We  need  to  consider  a  slight  charter  change  to  allow  us  to  better 
serve  the  current  population.  For  example,  we  have  a  new  curric- 
ulum for  traumatically  head-injured  blind.  Others  with  the  same 
type  of  injury,  though  not  blind,  could  benefit  from  this  new 
Perkins  expertise. 

2.  We  operate  a  small  grocery  store  and  plan  to  use  it  for  client  train- 
ing in  the  management  of  a  small  business. 

3.  Our  facilities  are  well  adapted  (though  not  completely)  for  the 
orthopedically  impaired.  Substantial  progress  can  be  noted.  Ele- 
vators serve  six  cottages  and  six  lavatory  facilities  are  completely 
renovated  and  completely  accessible.  The  physical  education, 
motor  training,  and  swimming  pool  areas  are  on  our  "hit"  list. 

4.  New  playgrounds  are  planned  and  awaiting  funding;  Howe 
Press  has  an  exciting  new  product  —  a  Perkins  Videoscope  (cam- 
era and  monitor  to  enlarge  print  for  persons  with  severe  limita- 
tions in  their  ability  to  read  regular-sized  print). 

5.  We  are  working  on  a  grant  to  serve  0-to-3-year-old  blind  babies 
and  one  to  serve  deaf-blind  persons  in  their  pursuit  of  vocational 
training  experiences. 

New  strides  in  the  publication  and  public  relations  area  and  our 
teacher-training  efforts  will  be  exciting  to  watch.  I  can  report  you  will 
be  seeing  and  reading  more  about  Perkins,  and  we  are  in  cooperation 
with  Boston  College  to  train  the  first  mobility  instructor  and  first 
teacher  of  the  deaf-blind  for  the  country  of  Yugoslavia.  In  our  50  years 
of  teacher  training  we  have  trained  65  teachers  for  India  alone. 

Nearing  the  close  of  my  report,  I  want  to  give  recognition  to  several 
persons  whose  service  to  Perkins  was  interrupted  by  their  deaths. 
We  will  miss:  The  Honorable  Lawrence  G.  Brooks  (9/81);  Betram  A. 
Druker  (8/81);  Dr.  Wendell  Yeo  (8/81);  and  Mrs.  Leverett  Saltonstall 
(10/81). 

You  may  see  new  programs  next  year.  1982  is  the  tentative  starting 
time  for  a  program  for  more  severely  impaired  than  we  have  previously 
served.  More  will  be  done  in  community  residence  training  and,  all  in 
all,  we  anticipate  a  challenging  year. 

Thank  you  for  the  support  given  the  trustees  and  to  me  personally.

STATEMENT  OF  PHILOSOPHY  AND  SERVICE 

Brief  Statement  of  Service  Responsibility 

Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  accepts  students  and  clients  from  the 
New  England  states  and  other  parts  of  the  country,  as  well  as  from 
overseas.  Since  its  founding,  Perkins  has  provided  equal  opportunities 
to  all  students  regardless  of  the  geographic  location  from  which  they 
come.  The  school  also  accepts  responsibility  for  educating  students 
and  clients  who  have  impairments  in  addition  to  that  of  blindness  and 
visual  impairments,  such  as  deafness,  mental  retardation,  behavior 
maladjustment,  neurological  impairment,  orthopedic  disabilities,  and 
perceptual  dysfunction. 

Statement  of  Goals 

The  overall  goals  of  Perkins  include: 

Education — To  assist  blind  and  visually  impaired  children  to  attain  a 
level  of  individual  mastery  of  their  physical,  social,  emotional,  aca- 
demic, and  spiritual  worlds.  Perkins  provides  individual  attention 
wherever  it  is  needed.  Classes  are  small  and  the  teacher-pupil  ratio 
is  favorable.  An  extensive  diagnostic  and  evaluation  program  helps 
in  placing  each  pupil  at  a  correct  level,  and  reveals  possible  needs 
for  change. 

Interpretation — To  assist  the  public  to  attain  an  informed  status  about 
the  many  visual  deficit  conditions  and  the  implications  of  these 
conditions  for  personal  adjustment  and  individual  competence 
within  the  context  of  community  living.  An  extensive  program  has 
been  carried  out  for  the  past  few  years  in  the  production  of  films,  and 
in  dissemination  of  literature  on  the  education  of  the  blind  and 
visually  impaired  and  the  deaf-blind. 

Leadership — To  assist  the  staff  to  develop  further  their  capabilities,  atti- 
tudes, and  levels  of  satisfaction  so  as  to  promote  the  effectiveness 
of  their  performance  in  their  many  roles  in  the  school.  The  school 
provides  funds  and,  when  necessary,  released  time  to  teachers  to 
attend  seminars  and  courses  in  their  specialties.  Perkins  seeks  to 
keep  abreast  of  relevant  research  in  both  general  and  special 
education. 

Research — To  provide  a  setting  for  the  continuous  exploration  of  prob- 
lems associated  with  visual  impairment,  such  setting  to  be  used 
by  school  staff  and  other  qualified  investigators.  The  intent  of  such 
exploration  would  be  discovering  new  materials,  and  of  perfecting 
existing  methods  and  materials  to  enhance  the  community  effort 
on  behalf  of  blind  and  visually  impaired  children.  The  school  has  a 
research  library  which  is  believed  to  be  the  largest  in  existence 
dealing  with  the  education  of  the  blind  and  visually  impaired. 

Participation — To  contribute  as  an  integral  member  agency  to  the  com- 
munity welfare.

Finance 


Treasurer's  Report 

The  report  of  the  Treasurer  for  the  year  ended  August  31, 1981  is  sub- 
mitted herewith.  The  accounts  of  the  Corporation  were  audited  by 
Coopers  &  Lybrand,  and  their  report  is  attached. 

Income  from  tuition  and  board  was  $3,144, 749,  an  increase  of  $262,135 
over  last  year.  This  reflects  the  increase  in  the  proportion  of  our  multi- 
handicapped  children,  whose  rates  are  higher,  while  our  total  average 
enrollment  was  off  slightly  to  210  from  215  last  year.  Investment  income 
of  $1,984,986  was  $86,257  higher  than  the  previous  year,  a  creditable 
showing  in  the  face  of  the  withdrawal  of  an  additional  $1,077,000  from 
Endowment  Funds  after  the  two  million  dollars  withdrawn  last  year 
for  our  Building  Program.  Total  income  from  all  sources  was  $6,677,667 
including  Federal  Grants. 

Operating  expenses  of  $7,739,268  were  $727,364  higher  than  the  pre- 
vious year.  Higher  salaries,  health  insurance  and  other  benefits,  and 
social  security  taxes  showed  an  increase  of  $395,700.  Other  expenses 
increased  in  all  our  programs. 

Expenses  for  the  year  exceeded  income  by  $1,061,601.  This  amount 
was  charged  $965,882  to  Unrestricted  Invested  Funds  and  $95,719  to  the 
principal  of  the  Deaf-Blind  Fund.  In  the  prior  year  the  comparable  total 
deficit  was  $1,041,310. 

The  Howe  Press  sales  showed  an  increase  over  the  previous  year  due 
to  an  increase  in  prices.  We  shipped  8,608  Braillers,  about  300  less  than 
last  year;  even  so,  dollar  sales  of  the  Perkins  Brailler  were  $2,370,880, 
an  increase  of  $719,696  over  last  year  because  of  a  long  delayed  increase 
in  the  prices  of  the  Braillers.  Costs  were  increased  also,  resulting  in  a 
net  operating  income  of  $638,426.  Investment  income  was  $25,386,  so 
that  the  Press  had  an  excess  of  income  over  expenses  of  $655,812  for  the 
year.  This  is  the  first  major  return  of  some  of  the  substantial  Perkins' 
funds  invested  in  the  Howe  Press  over  the  years. 


Respectfully  submitted, 

John  W.  Bryant,  Treasurer

INDEPENDENT  CERTIFIED  PUBLIC 
ACCOUNTANTS'  REPORT 


To  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind: 

We  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  as  of 
August  31, 1981,  the  related  condensed  statement  of  current  funds  expendi- 
tures and  resources  used  to  meet  expenditures,  statement  of  income  and 
expense  of  The  Howe  Press  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  and  summary  of 
changes  in  fund  balances  for  the  year  then  ended.  Our  examination  was  made 
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  and,  accordingly, 
included  such  tests  of  the  accounting  records  and  such  other  auditing  proce- 
dures as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We  previously  exam- 
ined and  reported  upon  the  1980  financial  statements  of  the  School  which 
are  included  in  condensed  form  for  comparative  purposes  only. 

When  legacies  received  are  unrestricted  as  to  principal,  the  School  does  not 
consider  them  as  current  funds  resources  but  adds  them  directly  to  funds  func- 
tioning as  endowments  as  reflected  in  the  statement  of  changes  in  fund 
balances. 

In  our  opinion,  except  that  legacies  unrestricted  as  to  principal  have  not  been 
reflected  as  current  funds  resources,  the  aforementioned  financial  statements 
present  fairly  the  financial  position  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  at  August 
31, 1981,  its  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  used  to  meet  expendi- 
tures, the  income  and  expense  of  The  Howe  Press  of  Perkins  School  for  the 
Blind  and  the  changes  in  its  fund  balances  for  the  year  then  ended  in  conformity 
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  applied  on  a  basis  consistent 
with  that  of  the  preceding  year. 

The  financial  statements  referred  to  in  the  foregoing  opinion  are  set  forth  on 
pages  2  to  7,  inclusive,  of  this  report.  Our  examination  was  made  primarily 
for  the  purpose  of  rendering  an  opinion  on  these  basic  financial  statements, 
taken  as  a  whole.  The  other  data  included  in  this  report  on  pages  9  to  16, 
although  not  considered  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of  financial  position, 
current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  and  changes  in  fund  balances,  are 
presented  primarily  for  supplemental  analysis  purposes.  This  additional 
information  has  been  subjected  to  the  audit  procedures  applied  in  the  exami- 
nation of  the  basic  financial  statements  and,  in  our  opinion,  is  fairly  stated  in  all 
material  respects  in  relation  to  the  basic  financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.

NOTES  TO  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS 

A.     Significant  Accounting  Policies: 

1 .  In  order  to  ensure  observance  of  limitations  and  restrictions  placed  on 
the  use  of  the  resources  available  to  the  School,  the  accounts  of  the 
School  are  maintained  in  accordance  with  the  principles  of  "fund 
accounting."  This  is  the  procedure  by  which  resources  for  various 
purposes  are  classified  into  funds  that  are  in  accordance  with  activities 
or  objectives  specified.  The  condensed  statement  of  current  funds 
expenditures  and  resources  used  to  meet  expenditures  is  a  statement 
of  financial  activities  of  current  funds  related  to  the  current  reporting 
periods.  It  does  not  purport  to  present  the  results  of  operations  or 
the  net  income  or  loss  for  the  period  as  would  a  statement  of  income  or 
a  statement  of  revenues  and  expenses. 

2.  Investments  are  reported  at  their  fair  market  value.  These  assets, 
except  for  special  investments  of  restricted  endowments,  are  pooled 
for  investment  purposes.  Income  earned  on  pooled  investments  is 
allocated  to  the  participating  funds  by  the  unit  share  method  (based 
on  market  values). 

3.  A  provision  of  $144,000  has  been  charged  to  the  current  funds  and 
accumulated  in  the  reserve  for  maintenance  and  replacements  fund. 
Significant  maintenance  costs  are  applied  against  this  reserve. 

4.  Depreciation  expense  relating  to  the  building  improvements, 
machinery  and  equipment  of  The  Howe  Press  is  computed  on  the 
straight-line  basis  using  the  following  useful  lives: 

Automobiles  5  years 

Building  improvements  40  years 

Machinery  and  equipment  10  years 

5.  Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  (first-in,  first-out  method)  or 
market. 

6.  Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  to  amounts  previously 
reported  to  enhance  comparability  of  the  financial  statements.

C.  Federal  Grants: 

The  School  acts  as  the  Coordinator  for  the  New  England  Regional 
Center  for  Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Children.  As  such,  it  receives  funds 
from  federal  grants  to  support  programs  carried  out  by  Perkins 
School  as  well  as  by  other  participating  agencies.  Federal  grants 
received  include  all  funds  for  the  Regional  Center;  federal  grants 
disbursed  are  principally  funds  remitted  to  outside  participating 
agencies. 

D.  Pension: 

Under  a  group  annuity  contract  administered  by  the  Equitable  Life 
Assurance  Society  of  the  United  States,  the  School  makes  contribu- 
tions toward  the  purchase  of  annuities  for  its  employees.  The  total 
assets  of  the  plan  as  of  September  1, 1979  ($3,760,918)  exceeds  the  total 
value  of  the  vested  accrued  annuities  as  of  the  most  recent  valuation 
date  ($3,050,125).  Total  cost  of  the  contract  and  supplemental  pay- 
ments charged  to  expenditures  amounted  to  $299,112  in  1981  and 
$296,687  in  1980.

THE  PERKINS  ENDOWMENT 

The  Perkins  Program  as  it  has  developed  and  been  maintained  for 
our  one  hundred  and  fifty  years  has  relied  upon  a  growing  endow- 
ment at  every  step  along  the  way. 

It  has  been  of  particular  value  in  times  of  economic  uncertainty  like 
the  present  when  public  agencies  are  forced  to  economize  and  look 
to  private  agencies  to  carry  a  maximum  share  of  the  cost  of  their 
services. 

The  needs  of  the  handicapped  take  no  note  of  these  fluctuations  in 
the  economy,  or  changes  in  social  attitudes.  Consequently  they  must 
be  met,  year  in  and  year  out,  regardless  of  cost. 

All  the  facilities  we  possess  have  grown  from  small  beginnings.  Our 
activity  is  full  of  "firsts" — first  success  with  deaf-blind;  first  blind 
graduate  to  college;  first  kindergarten;  first  teacher  training  courses, 
both  for  teachers  of  the  blind  and  teachers  of  the  deaf-blind;  first  in 
physical  therapy  and  speech  correction;  and  first  in  parent  counseling 
for  blind  boys  and  girls. 

And  we  continue  to  grow  with  the  development  and  expansion  of 
reality  based  programs  to  meet  the  needs  of  our  multi-impaired  stu- 
dents and  young  adults. 

One  asset  has  made  innovative  programming  possible.  This  is  our 
endowment. 

Every  new  departure  in  education  requires  money  that  has  not  been 
assigned  to  other  purposes.  Usually  it  is  a  small  sum  to  get  a  new  plan 
into  operation.  As  we  look  back  over  our  records  we  can  see  how  little  it 
took  Dr.  Howe  to  teach  Laura  Bridgman.  The  first  of  our  kindergarten 
cottages  in  Jamaica  Plain  cost  Michael  Anagnos  a  relatively  small  sum. 
Dr.  Allen  began  to  train  teachers  at  virtually  no  cost  to  the  school  at  all. 

So  it  has  been  with  each  forward  step.  On  each  occasion  the  extra- 
budgetary  funds  were  available.  No  appropriations  committee  had  to 
be  persuaded  that  what  was  considered  good  enough  for  their 
generation  was  not  good  enough  for  the  next.  Our  trustees,  who  since 
our  founding  have  invariably  welcomed  the  next  step  forward,  put 
things  into  motion  each  time. 

None  of  these  programs  has  remained  small.  Our  psychological 
services  have  expanded  many  times  as  have  other  areas  such  as  indus- 
trial education,  orientation  and  mobility,  career  education,  the  Adult 
Services  and  Deaf-Blind  Programs. 

Endowments  which  are  adequate  to  put  a  program  into  effect  are 
rarely  sufficient  to  keep  it  going.  As  with  every  private  school  and  col- 
lege that  is  keeping  abreast — or  ahead — of  the  times,  Perkins  needs 
to  see  its  endowment  grow.  Through  bequests  and  donations,  and 
through  a  few  government  grants,  we  have  been  able  to  expand  exist- 
ing services  and  add  new  ones  as  needed.  We  are  confident  that  our 
friends  will  continue  to  support  us  in  ever  increasing  amounts.

L  Message 

rom  the  Director 

For  the  first  time  in  our  153-year  history,  we  are 
w  able  to  serve  persons  who  are  not  blind.  .  . 

The  Massachusetts  legislature  recently  passed 
jiapter  112  of  the  Acts  of  1982,  which  amends  our 
iarter  by  expanding  its  purpose  —  to  allow  for  the 
ucating  and  training  of  persons  with  handicaps 
ier  than  visual.  Until  now,  our  original  1829  Charter 
lited  us  to  "educating  blind  persons"  only. 

The  Act  and  Amendment,  to  become  effective, 
d  to  be  accepted  by  the  members  of  the  Perkins 
jrporation,  who  did  so  on  November  1 ,  1982.  The 
:hool  Administration  feels  that  this  Charter  change  is 
significant  move  in  the  right  direction. 

Why  the  change? 

Primarily  because  it  is  in  the  best  interest  of  the 
nd  students  and  clients  we  now  serve.  They  are 
wer  in  number  and  more  significantly  handicapped 
jan  was  the  case  in  prior  years.  As  a  result,  it  would 
;ve  been  difficult  for  us  to  continue  to  maintain  the 
bad  and  comprehensive  services  for  which  we  are 
>ted.  Now,  the  vast  amount  of  curriculum  materials 
id  the  wealth  of  professional  knowledge  we've 
nassed  while  serving  multi-impaired  blind  persons 
ay  also  be  used  to  serve  sighted  persons  with  similar 
ided  impairments.  For  example,  the  traumatically 
jad-injured  blind  whom  Perkins  is  now  serving  can 
lare  facilities,  curricula,  and  staff  with  traumatically 
)ad-injured  persons  who  are  sighted.  .  . 

When  space  is  available,  that  is. 

We  must  emphasize  that,  in  reaching  out  to  serve 
ghted  persons,  we  will  proceed  cautiously,  so  as  to 
)ntinue  to  maintain  our  very  high  standard  for  both 
ghted  and  blind  students  and  clients.  Because  as  we 
ssured  the  state  legislature  at  the  hearing  on  our 
harter's  amendment  —  the  School  will  not  engage  in 
5w  programs  at  the  expense  of  its  historic  commit- 
entto  the  blind.

A  History 

of  the  Perkins  School 

In  1826,  a  young  Boston  physician  named  Jol 
Dix  Fisher  had  a  dream:  to  create  the  first  America 
school  for  the  blind.  Together  with  39  prominent 
Bostonians,  he  founded  the  New  England  Asylum 
the  Blind  —  the  Perkins  School  of  today. 

Dr.  Samuel  Gridley  Howe  was  the  school's  fin 
director.  In  1831,  he  began  with  two  pupils.  In 
1839,  the  School's  name  was  changed  to  the  Perki 
Institute,  after  trustee  Thomas  Handasyd  Perkins. 
School  was  growing  rapidly,  aided  by  Howe's  derr 
strations  of  his  students'  skills.  One  of  his  most  eel 
brated  accomplishments  was  Laura  Bridgman  whe 
under  Howe's  care,  became  the  first  deaf-blind  chi 
be  succesfully  educated,  a  feat  praised  by  Charles 
Dickens  in  his  American  Notes. 

After  45  years,  Howe  was  succeeded  by  Mich, 
Anagnos  in  1876.  While  his  accomplishments  were 
many,  including  the  first  kindergarten  for  the  blind 
Anagnos'  directorship  is  noted  for  the  two  special 
people  who  were  part  of  Perkins  between  1888  an< 
1893.  They  were  Helen  Keller  and  Anne  Sullivan. 

Anne  Sullivan,  a  Perkins  graduate,  met  Helen 
1887.  After  only  five  weeks,  she  broke  through  the 
barriers  of  silence  and  sightlessness  to  reach  Hele 
In  1888,  they  arrived  at  Perkins.  With  the  knowledc 
she  gained  here  and  at  schools  in  New  York  City  e 
Cambridge,  Helen  became  the  first  deaf-blind  pers 
to  receive  a  degree  from  Radcliffe. 

The  Perkins  tradition  of  constant  improvemen 
and  striving  for  excellence  continued  into  the  twen 
tieth  century.  Dr.  Edward  Allen  (1906-1926)  succeed 
Anagnos  as  director.  He  moved  the  school  to  its  pij- 
sent  Watertown,  Massachusetts  location.  Later,  in  <J- 
operation  with  Harvard  University,  Dr.  Allen  helpecc 
establish  the  first  program  for  teachers  of  the  blind. 

Dr.  Gabriel  Farrell  (1926-1951)  was  Perkins'  fop 
director.  He  combined  the  Lower  and  Boys  and  Gte 
Upper  Schools  into  one  and  oversaw  the  establish 
ment  of  the  Deaf-Blind  Department.  He  also  helpedo 
develop  a  program  at  Boston  University  for  teache 
of  the  deaf-blind. 

During  the  tenure  of  Dr.  Edward  Waterhouse  | 
(1951-1971),  Perkins  received  a  Federal  grant  to  orn- 
ate the  New  England  Regional  Center  for  Deaf-Blii! 
Children.  In  addition,  seven  films  were  produced  fc 
the  education  of  the  public  about  blindness  and 
Perkins'  work. 

Benjamin  Smith  (1971-1977)  was  the  first  viswty 
impaired  man  to  hold  the  director's  office.  He  help 
to  develop  a  career  education  program  and  a  com 
munity  residence  plan,  the  first  of  its  kind. 


d 


Now,  under  the  leadership  of  Charles  Woodcook, 
srkins'  seventh  director,  Perkins  continues  to  search 
r  the  best  ways  to  meet  our  students'  needs.  Today, 
;  in  our  beginning,  we  remain  a  leader  in  education 
r  the  blind,  the  visually  impaired,  and  the 
ulti-impaired. 


Vn  Overview 


"The  greatest  gift  that  God  in  His  bounty  made  in 
■eation,  and  the  most  comfortable  in  His  goodness, 
id  that  which  He  prizes  the  most,  was  the  freedom  of 
'ill,  with  which  the  creatures  of  intelligence,  and  they 
7  and  alone,  were  and  are  endowed. " 

—  Dante 

The  Freedom  of  Will:  the  right  to  do  what  one 
nooses  with  his  life,  the  ability  to  go  out  and  be  what 
ie  wants  to  be.  It's  something  that  many  people  take 
ir  granted.  But  for  the  handicapped  person,  attaining 
lis  freedom  is  the  greatest  triumph  of  all. 

Each  year  at  Perkins,  we  educate  and  train 
jndreds  of  students,  both  on  and  off  campus.  They 
inge  in  age  from  pre-schoolers  to  teenagers  to 
jults.  Some  are  blind  only;  many  are  also  deaf  or 
mlti-impaired.  To  help  them,  Perkins  offers  eight 
•ograms  of  instruction  and  training:  Infant-Toddler; 
reschool;  Primary  and  Intermediate;  Secondary  Ser- 
ces;  Deaf-Blind;  Severe  Impaired;  Adult  Services; 
nd  Community  Residence  &  Independent  Living  Ser- 
ces.  Although  these  programs  cover  many  diverse 
'eas,  they  are  united  in  one  vital  aspect:  their  goal. 

For  the  past  153  years,  Perkins'  goal  has  been  to 
9lp  our  students  to  attain  their  freedom  of  will,  to 
ain  control  and  mastery  over  their  own  lives.  Our 
nphasis  lies  on  what  each  individual  can  do,  not  on 
hat  he  cannot  do.  Each  is  encouraged  and  aided  to 
se  even  the  smallest  bit  of  potential  to  fully  challenge 
ie  obstacles  erected  by  his  or  her  impairment, 
motionally,  socially,  physically,  vocationally,  and 
vocationally,  Perkins  students  are  prepared  to  meet 
veryday  life  to  the  best  of  their  abilities. 

It  is  this  philosophy  which  has  guided  Perkins  for 
53  years.  It  is  the  ideal  that  is  the  foundation  of  the 
rilliant  life  of  Helen  Keller.  It  is  a  philosophy  which  is 
ncouraged  by  all  teachers  at  Perkins:  whether  they 
e  teaching  a  congenially  blind  child  to  run  and  play, 
r  helping  an  adult  deal  with  sight  loss  after  a  sighted 
fetime.  We  believe  that  with  concern,  caring,  and 
ncouragement,  the  blind,  the  deaf-blind,  and  the 
mlti-impaired  can  attain  that  which  is  their  inalienable 
ght:  the  right  to  an  independent  life.  .  . 

The  right  to  be  what  one  wants  to  be.

nfant/Toddler 
Program 

Until  a  decade  ago,  it  was  generally  believed  that 
e  "blindisms"  and  unusual  behaviors  associated  with 
>ngenitally  blind  persons  were  simply  something  that 
ime  with  blindness  and  had  to  be  accepted.  It  was 
ten  assumed  that  a  child,  blind  from  birth,  would  be 
lable  to  attain  normal  ambulation  or  motor  patterns 
id  would  also  have  developmental  lags  in  other  areas. 

At  Perkins,  however,  we  felt  that  such  behaviors 
ere  not  necessarily  expected  outcomes  of  early 
indness.  When  exposed  to  extensive  physical  and 
lucational  intervention  techniques  from  birth,  we 
Sieved  that  visually  impaired  children  could  and 
ould  attain  normal  motor  and  behavior  patterns. 

The  U.S.  Office  of  Education  agreed  with  us  and 
ithorized  for  three  years  federal  funding  for  the 
jrkins  Infant/Toddler  Program  as  a  Model  Demon- 
ration  Project,  so  that  we  might  develop  and  demon- 
rate  a  model  delivery  of  services  to  early  childhood 
the  area  of  special  education.  Since  its  inception 
'O  years  ago,  the  fundamental  premise  of  our  Infant/ 
)ddler  Program  has  been  the  understanding  that  a 
ind  infant/toddler  must  be  systematically  taught 
nat  a  sighted  infant/toddler  learns  automatically. 

The  Program  from  the  start  has  provided  parents 
blind  infants  and  toddlers  with  support  and  the 
)portunity  to  acquire  information  and  skills  neces- 
ry  to  promote  developmental  growth  in  their  chil- 
en.  Parental  involvement  has  been  essential, 
icause  parents'  attitudes  toward  blindness  and  its 
fects  on  their  children  play  a  decisive  role  in  their 
lildren's  lives.  A  blind  child's  home  has  the  potential 
be  stimulating  and,  with  proper  guidance  from 
irents,  the  home  of  a  blind  child  can  become  an 
:citing  learning  environment. 

Having  completed  two  of  the  three  years  of  our 
deral  funding,  we  continue  to  believe  that  blind 
lildren  are  more  like  than  different  from  other  chil- 
en.  But,  nonetheless,  they  still  are  different.  There- 
re,  it's  important  that  they  continue  to  receive  the 
}ht  attention  .  .  .  early.

Preschool  Program 

Blindness  need  not  retard  the  development  of  a 
child  . .  . 

But,  provision  must  be  made  for  the  blind  child  to 
obtain  the  type  of  education  that  best  meets  his  or  her 
ability. 

Perkins'  Preschool  Program  enables  blind,  visu- 
ally impaired,  and  multi-impaired  three-to-five-year- 
olds  to  get  a  "head  start"  in  achieving  their  fullest 
potential.  The  Program  emphasizes  the  importance  of 
seeing  visually  impaired  children,  first  and  foremost, 
as  children  —  with  the  same  needs  all  children  have 
for  love,  acceptance,  exploration,  and  a  sense  of 
competence. 

Like  all  children,  visually  impaired  preschoolers  at 
Perkins  are  individuals  .  .  .  which  means  that  their 
vision,  too,  varies  greatly  among  them  —  ranging  from 
degrees  of  low  vision  to  total  blindness.  Many  of  them  ! 
have  no  other  handicaps  other  than  visual .  .  .  but 
many  others  have  added  impairments,  such  as  hearing 
loss,  heart  defect,  or  cerebral  palsy.  For  these  reasons,  | 
the  availability  of  a  broad  spectrum  of  clinical  special- 
ists —  a  psychologist,  speech  and  language  therapist, 
physical  therapist,  occupational  therapist,  social 
worker,  behavior  management  specialist,  and  an  audio- 
logist  —  is  a  distinct  advantage  of  the  Perkins'  Pre- 
school Program.  These  specialists  are  located  on 
campus  and  are  thus  available,  on  a  regular  basis,  to 
work  with  the  children  and  their  teachers. 

Depending  on  the  amount  of  remaining  sight  and 
the  presence  of  other  impairments,  each  preschooler 
learns  a  little  bit  differently  .  .  .  which  is  why  the 
Perkins  Preschool  teacher-pupil  ratio  of  1:2  is  another 
distinct  benefit.  This  favorable  ratio  ensures  the  indi- 
vidual attention  that  a  visually  impaired  child  needs  in 
order  to  learn  and  grow. 

Perhaps,  though,  the  most  significant  benefit  of 
the  Perkins  Preschool  experience  is  that,  when  the 
child  reaches  the  age  when  formal  schooling  has  to 
be  considered,  the  choice  of  a  school  —  appropriate 
to  the  particular  child  —  can  be  made  logically,  with  a 
knowledge  of  the  child's  special  needs  . . .  and  abilities. 


>rimary  & 
ntermediate  Program 


The  Primary  &  Intermediate  Program  at  Perkins 
rves  blind,  visually  impaired,  and  multi-impaired 
lildren  who  are  between  the  ages  of  six  and  fifteen. 
sflmost  all  of  the  students  have  impairments  in  addi- 
dd  to  their  visual  problem.  Typical  of  these  are  hear- 
g  loss,  orthopedic  and/or  fine  motor  coordination 
difficulties,  emotional  problems,  learning  disabilities, 
isfid  communication  problems. 

In  some  instances,  modification  of  equipment  or 
eriodic  consultation  might  be  sufficient  to  meet  the 
udent's  special  needs.  In  many  cases,  however,  indi- 
dual  therapy  is  prescribed  and  scheduled  on  a  regu- 
ir  basis.  For  example,  last  year  more  than  one-half  of 
I  ^e  students  in  the  Program  met  at  least  once  a  week 
ifith  a  speech-and-language  therapist.  And  another 
venty-five  percent  saw  a  physical  therapist  once 
'week.  Because  of  the  current  causes  of  blindness 
)  nd  various  environmental  factors,  it's  rare  that  the 
'rogram  gets  a  student  whose  visual  impairment  is 
ie  only  impairment  he  or  she  has.  In  fact,  last  year 
iur  "average"  student  had,  statistically,  about  two-and- 
me-half  educationally  significant,  additional 
impairments. 

A  distinct  advantage,  then,  of  the  Perkins  Primary 
x  Intermediate  Program  is  the  regular  availaility  of  on- 
;ampus  clinical  specialists  who  not  only  give  one-on- 
)ne  counsel,  but  who  are  also  available  to  assist  the 
Program's  classroom  teachers.  These  "support"  staff 
-  psychologists,  social  workers,  occupational  thera- 
pists, physical  therapists,  behavior  management 
specialists,  an  educational  assessment  specialist,  and 
m  audiologist  —  thus  help  to  enhance  a  child's 
progress. 

There  are  other  reasons,  of  course,  why  the 
Derkins  Primary  &  Intermediate  Program  is  so  highly 
regarded:  The  non-graded,  individualized  program  of 
instruction  helps  assure  that  each  child  will  progress 
to  the  maximum  of  his  or  her  ability  ...  a  favorable 
teacher-student  ratio  of  1:4  ensures  individual  atten- 
tion for  each  child  .  . .  the  residential  cottages  are 
reasonable  facsimiles  to  home-like  environments. 

But  perhaps  the  biggest  advantage  of  all  is  that 
Perkins'  teachers  are  especially  prepared  to  educate 
children  with  visual  and  other  special  needs.

Secondary  Services 

Secondary  Services  at  Perkins  enrolled  seven 
eight  visually  impaired  and  multi-impaired  adolesc 
and  young  adults  in  1982,  between  the  ages  of  thi 
teen  and  twenty-two.  Within  Secondary  Services, , 
student  is  enrolled  in  one  of  two  programs:  the  Ju 
Senior  High  Program  or  Special  Programs: 

Junior/Senior  High  Program 

-  Fully  accredited  4-year  program  leading  to  £ 
high  school  diploma. 

-  Required  courses  include  instruction  in  aca- 
demic subjects,  prevocational  skills  development, 
independent  living. 

-  Each  student's  course  schedule  is  carefully 
individualized. 

-  Optional  enrollment  available  in  courses  at 
nearby  public  high  schools. 

-  Support  from  on-campus  clinical  specialists 
remedial  tutors  is  regularly  available. 

Special  Programs 

-  Ungraded  secondary-level  coursework  leadi 
to  a  "Certificate  of  Accomplishment"  at  successful 
completion  of  the  program. 

-  Practical  applications  of  basic  academic  skil 
prevocational  skills  development,  and  independen 
living  are  strongly  emphasized. 

-  Each  student's  course  schedule  is  carefully 
individualized. 

-  Self-contained  classes  or  departmentalized  | 
gramming  is  available  according  to  individual  stu- 
dent's needs. 

-  Support  from  on-campus  clinical  specialists 
remedial  tutors  is  regularly  available. 

A  focus  in  Secondary  Services  —  whether  it  t 
the  Junior/Senior  High  Program  or  Special  Progra 
—  is  the  cultivating  of  intellectual  status.  However, 
Programs  are  also  concerned  with  the  aggregate 
social  development  of  our  students  and  thus  atterr 
to  deal  with  all  of  the  ingredients  contributing  to  tr 
social  growth.  Secondary  Services  attempts  to  hel| 
students  to  become  more  industrious,  more  self- 
sufficient,  more  expressive  of  themselves  —  so  tha 
they  may  benefit  as  much  as  possible  from  all  exp' 
riences  in  which  they  take  part. 


Oeaf-Blind  Program 

The  education  and  training  of  a  deaf  and  blind 
hi  Id  involves  a  developmental  approach,  in  which 
lere  is  emphasis  upon  individualized  instruction  and 
]ge-appropriate  curriculum. 

The  focus,  then,  of  the  Perkins  Deaf-Blind  Pro- 
ram  is  not  solely  or  primarily  the  raising  of  intellec- 
jal  status  for  our  more  than  sixty  students,  ages  five 
"irough  twenty-two.  The  Program  is  concerned  with 
le  total  social  development  of  our  students  and, 
whenever  possible,  attempts  to  deal  with  all  of  the  fac- 
)rs  contributing  to  their  social  growth.  The  Program 
ius  helps  the  deaf  and  blind  students  to  become 
lore  active,  more  independent,  and  more  expressive 
f  themselves  —  so  that  they  may  profit  as  much  as 
ossible  from  all  experiences  in  which  they  take  part. 

The  prevailing  programmatic  philosophy  in  the 
'erkins  Deaf-Blind  Program  thus  includes  a  three-fold 
mphasis  on  academic  insruction,  vocational  training, 
nd  daily  living  skills  development. 

Regardless  of  whether  academic  instruction  is 
raded  or  non-graded,  all  students  receive  additional 
istruction  in  daily  living  skills,  independent  self- 
nanagement,  and  social  skills.  Residential  cottage  and 
assroom  staff,  together,  implement  an  independent 
ving  curriculum  which  prepares  students  for  group 
lomes,  community  residences,  or  their  own  apart- 
ments. But  the  emphasis  on  daily  living  skills  devel- 
)pment  in  the  residential  cottages  and  academic  train- 
ng  in  the  classrooms  is  only  two-thirds  of  the 
)rogramming  focus  for  Perkins'  deaf-blind  students, 
rhe  third  area  of  instruction  and  training  is  vocation- 
illy  oriented. 

Moreover,  all  deaf-blind  students  receive  addi- 
ional  support,  as  needed,  from  clinical  specialists 
;uch  as  a  psychologist,  an  occupational  therapist,  a 
Physical  therapist,  and  a  speech-and-language 
Dathologist.  And,  too,  deaf-blind  students  work  regu- 
arly  with  educational  specialists  in  Orientation  & 
Mobility  and  Physical  Education,  in  order  that  their 
Derkins  experience  be  an  optimal  educational  and 
labilitative  program.

Community  Resident 
&  Independent 
Living  Services 

Community  Residence  &  Independent  Livin< 
vices  was  the  first  of  two  new  Perkins  Programs 
begun  in  1982.  The  staff  of  this  Program  supervij 
direct  several  off-campus  community  residences 
semi-independent  apartments  for  adults  who  are 
visually  impaired,  deaf-blind,  and  multi-impaired, 
residences  and  apartments  provide  a  continuum 
services  to  prepare  individuals  for  independent  li 
or  to  assist  them  in  maintaining  residence  in  thei 
communities.  The  residences  and  apartments  an 
equipped  and  staffed  appropriately  for  clients'  ne 
with  structures  ranging  from  full-time  supervisior 
part-time  visitation  support. 

This  new  Program  was  two  years  in  the  mah 
In  1980  we  became  actively  involved  in  consideri 
issue  of  appropriate  housing  services  for  a  broac 
range  of  multi-impaired  blind,  visually  impaired,  < 
deaf-blind  individuals.  We  identified  a  need  to  de 
a  comprehensive  continuum  of  services  to  adeqi 
serve  a  substantial  number  of  individuals  who  ha 
completed,  or  who  were  about  to  complete,  their 
mal  education  or  training  at  Perkins.  Through  su 
of  our  graduates  we  saw  clearly  that,  in  many  ca 
students  and  clients  were  either  unemployed  or 
underemployed.  But,  the  major  cause  of  these  tv 
conditions  was  not  necessarily  related  to  a  lack  c 
development  or  a  lack  of  job  opportunities;  rathe 
was  primarily  due  to  a  lack  of  appropriately  struc 
and  semi-structured  living  options  in  the  commu 
In  many  cases  our  graduates  could  have  been  pi 
in  competitive  employment  or  Daily  Activity  Cen 
—  if  adequate  housing  services  had  been  availab 
the  community  where  the  business  or  industry  w 
located,  or  in  a  nearby  community  that  offered  at 
quate  public  transportation. 

This  new  Program,  then,  is  helping  alleviate 
a  tremendous  need  for  blind  adults  —  not  only  ir 
state  of  Massachusetts,  but  throughout  the  Unite 
States:  the  need  for  independent  and  semi- 
independent  living  options  in  their  communities.

Clinical  Services 


The  theme  within  Clinical  Services  during  1982 
iay  be  best  characterized  by  stability  and  refinement. 
■ilajor  staff  recruitment  has  been  completed  since  Clin- 
;al  Services'  formal  inception  four  years  ago.  We  now 
lave  a  team  of  specialists  who  have  grown  together  to 
levelop  and  refine  a  broad  spectrum  of  unique  clinical 
ervices.  Our  primary  goal  is  to  continue  to  provide 
igh  quality  clinical  and  educational  services  which 
/ill  enable  each  student  and  client  to  realize  his  or  her 
reatest  level  of  independence  and  self-fulfillment. 

The  specialists  who  comprise  Clinical  Services 
iclude  psychologists,  social  workers,  occupational 
nerapists,  physical  therapists,  behavior  management 
pecialists,  speech  and  language  pathologists,  an 
Educational  assessment  specialist,  an  audiologist,  an 
valuation  supervisor,  and  a  registrar.  These  special- 
its  are  assigned  to  specific  Programs  in  accordance 
/ith  the  clinical  needs  of  the  students  in  that  given 
rogram.  Other  clinical  personnel,  such  as  psychia- 
ists,  neuropsychologists,  and  medical  specialists, 
hay  be  called  upon  to  consult  as  necessary. 

The  evaluation  of  individuals  who  are  referred  to 
erkins  for  admission  or  recommendations  is  regard- 
as  an  important  responsibility  by  Clinical  Services 
ersonnel  and  other  Program  staff.  During  1982,  the 
isor  of  Evaluations  worked  with  the  Coordina- 
br  of  Clinical  Services  in  processing  119  requests  for 
valuations.  It  is  significant  that  this  represents  the 

number  of  referrals  Perkins  has  ever  received 
any  single  year  and  may  reflect  our  determined 
ffort  to  provide  a  centralized  evaluation  process 
hich  is  timely,  flexible,  and  sensitive  to  the  needs  of 
and  their  families. 

A  major  emphasis  is  being  placed  on  the  streng- 

ing  of  a  consistent  and  positive  behavioral 
pproach  in  which  students  and  clients  are  rewarded 
Dr  appropriate  and  productive  behavior.  At  the  same 

,  it  is  essential  that  we  continue  to  maintain  close 
nd  effective  communication  with  families  so  that  our 
pproaches  at  school  and  at  home  are  complimentary. 
Ve  feel  that  these  mutually  positive  environments  will 
reatly  enhance  a  student's  potential  for  learning.

REPORT  OF  THE  DIRECTOR 


Let  this  report,  though  it  is 
designated  to  be  an  annual 
report  covering  the  1981-82 
school  and  fiscal  years,  be  more 
remembered  as  a  brief  five-year 
review  of  the  1977-82  period  in 
our  history. 

In  this  five-year  span  of  time 
the  areas  in  which  significant 
activity  has  occurred,  and  where 
increased  effort  or  new  efforts 
have  been  made,  include: 

1.  Designing  educational/ 
training  programs  that  use  a 
"unit"  or  "team"  approach; 

2.  Structuring  management 
and  support  staff  so  that  the 
focus  is  on  education  and  train- 
ing, with  all  else  designed  to 
enhance  these  efforts; 

3.  Creating  programs  for  more 
profoundly  impaired  special 
needs  students  and  clients  than 
previously  served; 

4.  Increasing  our  involvement 
in  the  planning  for  community 
residence  training  and  the 
establishing  of  independent  and 
semi-independent  living  units 
for  students  and  clients; 


5.  Restructuring  our  psycho- 
logical, assessment,  admission, 
and  counseling  functions  into  a 
Clinical  Services  unit; 

6.  Adapting  our  physical 
plant  in  a  major  way  so  that  it 
is  accessible  to  all  persons, 
including  those  with  major 
orthopedic  impairments; 

7.  Developing  financial 
resources  to  more  adequately 
meet  increasing  program 
demands  and  a  new  public  rela- 
tions thrust  to  help  sustain  our 
efforts  by  bringing  them  before 
other  professionals  and  the 
public. 

As  a  result  of  the  action  of  the 
Corporation  —  confirming  a 
Charter  change  on  November  1, 
1982  —  we  now  have  an  oppor- 
tunity to  open  up  our  facilities 
and  reach  out  even  further  to 
those  in  need. 

Perhaps  this  report  will  go 
down  in  history  as  one  of  the 
shortest,  because  now  having 
listed  seven  areas  in  which  a 
great  deal  has  been  accom- 
plished, I  choose  not  to  elabo- 


23 


rate  greatly  but  rather  leave  you 
with  the  opportunity  to  read 
other  publications  and  reports 
coming  out  of  the  school  to  fill 
in  the  gaps  and  to  savor  that 
which  you  have  gained 
first-hand. 

I  would,  however,  like  to  take 
a  brief  look  ahead  and  list  seven 
goals.  These  goals  should  be 
considered  as  partly  accom- 
plished, and  you  will  see  how,  in 
fact,  they  are  parallel  to  the 
seven  items  just  reviewed. 
Remember:  a  goal  is  a  broadly 
defined  statement  that  gener- 
ally does  not  specify  the  manner 
or  time  frame  in  which  it  will  be 
achieved.  It  is  the  objectives 
that  are  written  in  support  of  a 
goal  that  specifies  the  manner 
by  which  the  goal  will  be 
reached,  the  time  required,  and 
the  process  for  evaluating  the 
results.  Writing  objectives  is  the 
crux  of  our  programming,  so 
goals  for  the  next  five  years 
include: 

1.  Continue  to  study  areas 
where  new  programs  of  educa- 
tion and  training  might  be 
developed; 

2.  Develop  those  new  pro- 
grams that  seem  to  be  most 
appropriate  for  Perkins; 

3.  Design  systems  that  will 
provide  for  the  continued  pro- 
fessional growth  and  security  of 
our  staff; 

4.  Develop  a  plan  that  will 
restore  and  refurbish  our  physi- 
cal plant  to  the  proper  level  of 
repair  and  decor; 

5.  Continue  efforts  toward  a 
totally  accessible  facility; 

6.  Study  our  financial  situa- 
tion and  budget  needs  and 
develop  a  plan  that  will,  with 
consistency,  move  to  return  us 
to  a  position  where  funds  func- 


tioning as  endowments  can 
remain  intact ...  a  position 
we  have  not  enjoyed  for  nearly 
a  decade; 

7.  Restructure  the  Howe  Press 
operation,  making  it  a  modern 
operation  from  a  management 
and  manufacturing  point  of 
view.  The  Howe  Press  of  the 
Perkins  School  has  experienced 
two  conservatively  good  years 
financially.  However,  we  must 
concern  ourselves  with  a  man- 
agement review  and  look  into 
the  future  to  define  the  efforts 
for  this  part  of  our  operation. 

As  I  implied  earlier,  each  of 
these  goals  has  been  a  part  of 
our  efforts  of  the  past  five  years, 
and  now  it  is  time  to  put  effort 
into  the  writing  of  objectives  so 
that  each  goal  might  be  fully 
attained. 

Continuing  our  exploration  of 
new  avenues  of  service  is  criti- 
cal to  our  continued  success.  A 
ten-year  study  of  the  twenty-five 
largest  schools  for  the  blind  in 
the  United  States  —  using  the 
number  of  legally  blind  students 
registered  each  year  with  the 
American  Printing  House  for 
the  Blind  as  the  size  criteria  — 
reveals  some  interesting  data. 

Ten  years  ago,  the  Perkins 
School  was  fifth  largest  of  the 
twenty-five.  Now,  a  decade  later, 
it  is  the  fourth  largest.  Ten 
years  ago  we  registered  284 
pupils;  now  we  register  203.  This 
is  a  decline  of  29%.  How,  then, 
can  we  say  we  are  "larger"  than 
before?  "Larger,"  only  in  com- 
parison with  other  schools,  is 
the  answer.  The  number,  203,  in 
no  way  represents  the  number 
of  persons  served  in  one  year  — 
as  that  number  is  in  the  thou- 
sands. The  203  represents  pnly 
the  number  of  students  and 
clients  registered  with  A.P.H. 


24 


There  is  a  clear  indication  in 
these  registration  statistics  that 
enrollments  held,  or  declined 
less,  in  those  schools  which 
entered  —  early  on,  and  with  a 
full  commitment  —  to  serving  a 
broad  base  of  students  and 
clients.  This  is  a  further  sub- 
stantiation of  the  significance  of 
the  efforts  made  towards  chang- 
ing our  charter. 

Philosophically,  I  believe  it  to 
be  the  Perkins  position  that  we 
are  committed  to  serve,  first,  the 
blind;  then,  wherever  else  feasi- 
ble, other  special  needs 
populations. 


The  next  decade,  like  the  past, 
will  be  challenging.  Having 
completed  the  first  150  years 
(now  154),  we  need  to  remain 
responsive,  resilient,  and  ready 
to  serve.  Could  it  be  these  are 
the  "3  Rs"  of  the  next  decade? 

The  work  of  each  individual 
program  supervisor  at  Perkins 
is  significant.  The  following 
information  is  extracted  from 
annual  reports  submitted  by 
them  and  covering  the  full 
range  of  activities  in  which  they 
find  themselves  engaged: 


The  school  year  1981-82  was  a 
busy  and  productive  one.  We 
continue  to  constantly  analyze 
the  services  we  offer  to  students 
and  clients,  and  our  attention  to 
long-term  planning  for  these 
individuals  occupies  a  good  deal 
of  Supervisors'  time  and  effort. 

Each  Program  at  Perkins  has 
an  interdisciplinary  task  force 
which  meets  on  a  regular  basis 
to  plan  program  services  for 
students  and  clients.  It  is  within 
this  structure  that  administra- 
tors, clinical  personnel,  teachers, 
and  houseparents  work  together 
on  a  regular  basis  to  design  and 
improve  services  within  a 
reality-based  curricula. 

We  continue  to  be  blessed 
with  a  well-trained,  dedicated, 
and  resourceful  staff  who  con- 
sistently provide  comprehensive 
and  quality  services.  I  would 
personally  like  to  thank  the 
supervisory  and  administrative 
staff  for  their  commitment  and 
long  hours  of  work;  the  teachers, 
assistant  teachers,  and  teacher 
aides  who  provide  direct  servi- 
ces on  a  daily  basis;  the  clinical 


staff  who  provide  consultation 
and  direct  services;  the  house- 
parents  and  residence  managers 
who  oversee  the  multiple 
demands  of  a  cottage  program; 
the  child  care  workers  who 
organize  and  follow  through  on 
numerous  on-campus  and  off- 
campus  activities;  and,  finally, 
the  secretarial  staff  who  interact 
so  effectively  with  Perkins  staff 
and  a  large  number  of  people 
outside  of  Perkins,  such  as  par- 
ents, funding  agents,  and  licens- 
ing personnel. 

We  continue  to  work  with  the 
Watertown  Housing  Authority 
and  the  Massachusetts  Com- 
mission for  the  Blind  on  the 
development  of  three  off-campus 
houses  as  part  of  our  Commun- 
ity Residence  and  Independent 
Living  Services  Program  for 
multi-impaired  blind  and  deaf- 
blind  students  and  clients.  We 
have  placed  nine  individuals  in 
the  Arsenal  Apartments  on 
Arsenal  Street  in  Watertown, 
and  we  are  serving  two  clients 
in  a  Perkins-owned  house  on 
Pequosette  Street  in  Watertown. 


25 


We  hope  that  two  additional  off- 
campus  Perkins-owned  houses 
will  become  operational  during 
the  next  six  months. 

In  March,  1982  we  received  a 
grant  from  the  Massachusetts 
Commission  for  the  Blind  to 
work  closely  with  their  staff  in 
the  development  of  relevant  and 
creative  vocational  training 
programs  for  blind  adults  who 
are  unemployed  or  under- 
employed. This  project  has  been 
called  Occupational  Training 
for  the  Blind,  and  Martin 
Kennedy  has  been  assigned  to 
supervise  the  Program.  We  hope 
to  be  able  to  integrate  blind 
individuals  into  already  existing 
business  and  industrial  training 
programs,  or  design  an  array  of 
new  vocational  training  pro- 
grams within  various  compan- 
ies within  our  region. 

Potter  Cottage  renovations 
were  completed  in  August,  1982, 
and  the  Severe  Impaired  Pro- 
gram, which  will  be  housed  in 
the  facility,  will  become  opera- 
tional on  a  gradual  basis  during 
the  school  year  1982-1983. 
Requests  for  evaluation  and 
admission  are  on-going  at  this 


point,  and  the  overall  program 
design  and  recruitment  of  a 
well-trained  staff  are  our  imme- 
diate short-term  goals. 

We  operated  Summer  Pro- 
grams during  July,  1982  in  the 
Preschool,  Primary  and  Inter- 
mediate, Deaf-Blind,  Adult  Ser- 
vices, and  Secondary  Services 
programs.  Over  100  students 
and  clients  were  served  during 
the  five-week  session,  some  of 
whom  were  students  enrolled  in 
public  school  programs  during 
the  regular  school  year. 

We  hope  to  be  able  to  provide 
more  direct  and  indirect  services 
to  public  school  students  during 
the  school  year  1982-1983,  as  we 
'  begin  to  expand  our  "outreach 
service"  possibilities.  Julie 
Solomon  has  been  assigned  to 
work  closely  with  personnel 
from  the  Division  of  Special 
Education,  Itinerant  teachers, 
and  staff  from  other  schools 
and  agencies  in  Massachusetts 
and  other  New  England  States. 

Kevin  J.  Lessard, 

Assistant  Director 


The  Infant-Toddler  Program  is 
completing  its  third  and  last 
year  of  federal  funding. 
Initiated  during  the  1980-1981 
school  year,  the  Project's  pri- 
mary goal  is  to  develop  a  model 
demonstration  program  which 
will  provide  educational  and 
support  services  for  visually 
impaired  children,  birth  to  three, 
and  their  families.  Services  to 
the  children  and  their  families 
are  provided  by  a  staff  which 
includes  a  Project  Coordinator, 
Head  Teacher,  two  Home 


Teachers,  one  half-time  Social 
Worker  and  one  Secretary.  In 
addition,  consultant  services  are 
contracted  for  as  needed.  Sup- 
port services  which  have  been 
provided  to  date  have  included: 
Speech  and  Language  Therapy, 
Psychology,  Physical  Therapy, 
Audiology,  Occupational  Ther- 
apy and  a  Media  Specialist.  The 
Program  also  relies  heavily  on  a 
stable  corps  of  volunteers  who 
participate  in  all  facets  of  the 
"School  Day"  program. 


26 


Seventeen  visually  impaired 
children  between  the  ages  of 
three  months  and  three  years 
were  served  during  the  1981- 
1982  school  year.  Since  the  Pro- 
gram began,  fifty-five  visually 
impaired  infants  and  toddlers 
have  been  identified.  Many  of 
these  children  are  receiving  ser- 
vice from  their  local  early  inter- 
vention programs. 

Parental  involvement  in  all 
areas  of  programming  is  central 
to  the  success  of  the  Infant- 
Toddler  Program.  With  the  par- 
ents seen  as  the  primary 
teachers  of  their  children,  and 
an  integral  part  of  the  transdis- 
ciplinary  team,  an  individual 
curriculum  is  designed  for  each 
child.  The  resultant  reality- 
based  life-learning  curriculum 
helps  the  children  develop  skills 
necessary  to  interact  and 
manipulate  their  everyday 
environments.  These  include 
their  homes,  neighborhoods, 
and  schools. 


The  parents  and  children 
meet  at  the  Perkins  School  for 
the  Blind  three  mornings  a 
month.  The  children's  program 
is  carried  out  in  a  home-like  set- 
ting consisting  of  an  efficiency 
apartment  and  a  large  play 
area.  After  a  short  period  when 
parents  interact  with  their 
children  for  music,  movement, 
and  fun,  the  parents  and  Social 
Worker  adjourn  for  an  hour 
meeting.  The  focus  of  the  group 
is  parent  support  and  informa- 
tion exchange.  Once  a  month, 
evening  parent  meetings  of  an 
educational  nature  are  also 
held. 

There  were  117  visitors  to  the 
Project  during  1981-1982  school 
year.  Many  expressed  the  need 
and  desirability  of  the  contin- 
uance of  such  a  model  program 
locally,  nationally,  and 
intern  ation  ally . 

Sherry  Raynor, 

Program  Supervisor 


The  Preschool  Program, 
initiated  in  September,  1979, 
continued  to  serve  young  visu- 
ally impaired  children  and  their 
families  during  the  1981-1982 
school  year.  Four  children 
between  the  ages  of  three  and 
seven  attended  the  daily 
nursery  school  program.  Provi- 
sion for  individual  needs  in  all 
areas  of  development  was  facili- 
tated by  a  highly  favorable 
staff-student  ratio.  In  addition, 
Perkins'  Clinical  Services  pro- 
vided the  support  of  social  work, 
psychology,  occupational  ther- 
apy, speech  and  language  ther- 
apy, physical  therapy,  and 
audiology. 


Direct  services  to  parents 
included  coordinating  instruc- 
tion between  school  and  home. 
Monthly  home  teaching  visits 
brought  pertinent  information 
about  appropriate  activities  and 
materials  for  parents  to  pursue 
with  their  children.  Parents 
were  encouraged  to  visit  the 
Preschool  monthly  to  observe 
their  child  at  school  and  consult 
with  members  of  the  profes- 
sional team  working  with  their 
child.  Parent  meetings  were  also 
held  on  a  regular  basis  at  the 
Preschool  House. 

Five  children  participated  in  a 
five-week  summer  program 
which  offered  a  variety  of  out- 


27 


door  community  experiences 
and  provided  continued  instruc- 
tion based  on  individual  goals 
and  objectives. 

By  July,  1982  one  child  was 
developmental^  ready  to  move 
on  to  the  Perkins  Primary  and 
Intermediate  Program.  Through 
a  cooperative  arrangement  with 
the  Primary  and  Intermediate 
Program,  a  smooth  transitional 
period  was  coordinated,  gradu- 
ally integrating  the  Preschool 
child  into  afternoon  classes  and 
special  activities  in  the  new 
Program. 

Interdisciplinary  team  eval- 
uations were  provided  for  ten 


preschool-aged  children  through 
the  Clinical  Services  Depart- 
ment. During  two  of  these  eval- 
uations the  child  participated  in 
the  Preschool  Program  for  a 
diagnostic  period  of  four  to  six 
weeks. 

The  Preschool  Program  will 
continue  to  explore  the  needs  of 
its  population  and  will  expand 
as  these  needs  are  identified. 
Two  possible  areas  for  future 
development  are:  respite  care  for 
parents  and  outreach  service  to 
local  schools  and  agencies. 

Deborah  Gleason, 

Head  Teacher 


The  Primary  and  Interme- 
diate Program  began  the  1981- 
82  school  year  with  a  population 
of  42  students  ranging  in  age 
from  six  to  fifteen.  There  were 
ten  class  groups,  with  approxi- 
mately four  students  and  one 
teacher  and  one  aide  per  class. 
The  number  of  students  was 
approximately  the  same  as  dur- 
ing the  previous  four  years,  but 
it  has  become  evident  that  with 
both  the  decrease  in  new  refer- 
rals and  with  the  average  age  of 
the  students  now  above  twelve, 
there  will  be  a  dramatic  decline 
in  the  population  of  younger 
students  in  the  near  future. 

That  notwithstanding,  we 
have  increased  innovative  pro- 
gramming in  several  areas. 
After  a  successful  year  with  one 
Diagnostic  Classroom  it  was 
decided  to  add  another  similar 
group.  The  major  focus  of  the 
Diagnostic  approach  is  to  keep 
a  high  level  of  special  services 
while  keeping  discontinuity  at  a 
minimum.  Generally,  specialists 
come  to  the  students  rather 


than  the  students  going  to 
them.  Conversation  and  crea- 
tive listening  groups  have  been 
added  to  both  residential  cot- 
tages in  non-school  hours,  under 
the  direction  of  the  Speech 
Therapist,  and  run  by  the  cot- 
tage staff.  After  school,  formal 
recreational  programs,  set  up  by 
the  physical  education  teacher 
and  run  by  the  cottage  staff, 
have  added  greatly  to  the  lives 
of  the  students.  The  unique 
Associated  Arts  Program  run 
jointly  by  the  music  and  crafts 
teachers,  with  help  from  the  cot- 
tage staffs,  has  continued  to 
provide  unique  opportunities  for 
children  after  school  in  recrea- 
tional fine  arts. 

In  order  to  help  our  students 
gain  critical  social  skills  our 
Psychologist  and  Social  Worker 
have  developed  several  groups 
which  they  run  jointly  or  indi- 
vidually, in  addition  to  their 
one-to-one  therapy  with  specific 
students.  Groups  at  present 
include  the  Teen  Group,  Girl's 
Group,  Playskills  Group,  and 


28 


Social  Skills  Development 
Group.  Another  new  offering  is 
Sensory-Motor  Integration  run 
by  the  Physical  Therapist  and 
Occupational  Therapist.  Over 
half  the  students  in  the  Primary 
and  Intermediate  Program 
receive  the  subject.  S.M.I, 
involves  developing  and 
increasing  the  fine  and  gross 
motor  controls  necessary  for 
physical  activity.  Environmen- 
tal Awareness  classes  and 
Community  Experience  con- 
tinues to  be  provided  during  the 
school  day  and  after  school  by 
the  Mobility  Teachers,  with  the 
assistance  of  the  houseparent 
staff.  Formal  A.D.L.  (Activities 
of  Daily  Living)  Skills  have  con- 
tinued in  the  residential  setting 
to  help  our  students  develop 
needed  self-help  skills. 

The  Primary  and  Interme- 
diate Program  Task  Force  used 
much  of  the  school  year  in 
developing  the  Transition  Class, 
which  started  in  September, 
1982.  The  purpose  of  the  class  is 
to  develop  those  independent 
skills  necessary  for  movement 
into  other  programs.  Students 
are  carefully  monitored  by  the 


entire  staff,  and  an  intensive 
program  of  behavior  manage- 
ment has  been  carefully  devised 
by  the  Psychologist  in  conjunc- 
tion with  the  teachers  and 
houseparents /aides.  It  is  ex- 
pected that  this  very  intensive 
setting  will  become  essential  in 
the  future. 

The  Parents'  Group  continued 
throughout  the  year  and  was 
highlighted  by  several  social 
occasions,  including  the  end-of- 
the-year  picnic,  that  the  parents 
provided  for  the  entire  Program. 
In  addition  to  discussing  areas 
of  mutual  concern,  the  parents 
worked  extensively  on  creating 
a  cookbook  to  be  sold  to  benefit 
the  children  in  the  Program. 

Each  year  the  Primary  and 
Intermediate  Program  has 
endeavored  to  make  those 
changes  and  additions  that  are 
needed  to  meet  the  multiplicity 
of  needs  of  our  student  popula- 
tion. We  hope  to  continue  to 
offer  this  flexibility  in  the 
future.

This  year  the  Secondary  Ser- 
vices Program  served  seventy- 
eight  students  who  ranged  in 
age  from  13  to  22.  Forty-five  were 
assigned  to  Special  Programs 
and  thirty-three  to  Junior/ 
Senior  High.  In  June,  1982,  the 
fourteen  Secondary  students 
received  diplomas,  and  two 
Secondary  students  received 
Certificates  of  Accomplishment 
in  the  June  Commencement 
ceremonies. 

As  enrollment  continued  to 
decline  in  both  Junior /Senior 


and  Special  Programs,  the 
importance  of  consolidating  the 
two  programs  into  the  broadly- 
based  Secondary  Services  Pro- 
gram became  more  evident.  The 
Joint  Planning  Committee,  an 
interdisciplinary  team  of  house- 
parents,  teachers,  clinicians, 
and  administrators,  continued 
to  plan  for  the  future.  Several 
significant  changes  occured  dur- 
ing the  year: 

— Keller/Sullivan  became  a 
Secondary  Services  cottage  to  be 
used  exclusively  for  Live-Ins; 


29 


— the  Junior  /Senior  girls'  cot- 
tage (Eliot)  became  a  Deaf/ 
Blind  Program  cottage  and  most 
of  the  Junior/Senior  girls  were 
integrated  into  Brooks  and 
Fisher  Cottages; 

— Bennett  was  renovated  and 
connected  by  a  fire  door  to  the 
May  Cottage  apartment.  .  .  This 
facility  will  provide  more  acces- 
sibility to  Live-Ins  for  orthope- 
dically  impaired  students.  .  . 
Bennett  is  currently  being  used 
as  year-long  Live-In  for  the 
older  Junior/Senior  High  girls; 

— self-contained  classes 
staffed  with  a  teacher  and 
teacher  aide  were  established  to 
provide  a  highly  structured 
environment  for  students  who 
required  the  consistency  pro- 
vided by  this  type  of  class 
structure. 

The  opportunities  for  students 
to  experience  living  in  a  simu- 
lated group  home  or  apartment 
situation  increased.  A  precedent 
was  established  that  all  Juniors 
and  Seniors,  and  ungraded  stu- 
dents in  their  last  two  years  at 
Perkins,  are  required  to  partici- 
pate in  a  Live-In.  In  the  Live-In, 
which  can  be  ten  weeks  or  a  full 
year  in  duration,  the  students 
sign  a  "lease"  and  are  responsi- 
ble for  budgeting,  meal  plan- 
ning, shopping,  and  housekeep- 
ing. Curriculum  and  staff  role 
descriptions  for  Live-In  pro- 
gramming were  developed  and 
disseminated  to  several  other 
Schools  for  the  Blind,  although 
this  material  is  not  yet  in  a  pub- 
lished form. 

Another  product  of  the  Joint 
Planning  Committee's  effort 
was  a  social  and  recreational 
program  coordinated  by  the 
houseparents  of  the  Secondary 
cottages.  A  houseparent  was 
assigned  the  responsibility  to 


30 


organize  and  refine  the  cottage- 
based  recreational  program, 
which  heavily  involves  the  stu- 
dents in  the  planning  and 
design  of  events. 

Several  Secondary  students 
attended  courses  at  Watertown 
High  School  last  year.  The 
courses  included  Chemistry, 
Fortran,  Electricity,  and  Psy- 
chology. The  mainstreaming 
program  continued  to  provide 
an  important  opportunity  for 
students  to  experience  the  busy, 
fast-paced  environment  of  a 
suburban  high  school.  This 
experiene  helped  several  stu- 
dents in  their  preparation  for, 
and  choices  about,  further 
education. 

Secondary  students  also  con- 
tinued to  work  in  competitive 
and  supervised  businesses  to 
further  develop  vocational  skills 
and  appropriate  work  habits 
and  attitudes. 

Lastly,  Secondary  Services 
focused  on  developing  better 
programming  for  two  relatively 
new  populations:  the  head- 
injured,  and  the  public-school 
students.  Although  head-injured 
students  have  been  admitted  to 
both  Junior/Senior  and  Special 
Programs  in  the  past  several 
years,  there  is  a  need  to  provide 
more  comprehensive  services  for 
an  increasing  number  of  these 
students  who  could  benefit  from 
the  Perkins  setting.  The  Out- 
reach Program,  on  the  other 
hand,  is  gearing  its  services  to 
supplement  programs  provided 
in  the  students'  home  communi- 
ties, by  providing  consultations 
to  staff  and  parents,  as  well  as 
short-term,  specific  instruction 
for  students.

In  1982,  the  Deaf-Blind  Pro- 
gram served  sixty-two  students, 
most  of  whom  were  adolescents. 
Consequently,  the  curriculum 
continues  to  include  a  three-fold 
emphasis  upon  daily  living 
skills,  prevocational  training, 
and  continued  academic  learn- 
ing. The  curriculum  is  taught 
jointly  by  both  classroom  and 
cottage  staff,  who  are  working 
in  a  cooperative  effort  in  the 
teaching  of  indepdendence. 
Especially  unique  facets  of  the 
program  include:  a  variety  of 
programmatic  options  for  a 
wide  range  of  students,  specific 
diagnostic  and  evaluation  servi- 
ces, specific  academic  curricula, 
and  prevocational  assessment 
and  training. 

It  is  encouraging  to  note  that 
our  enrollment  represented  a  net 
increase  in  the  number  of  stu- 
dents served  over  the  prior  year. 
As  a  result  of  recent  changes  in 
Perkins'  charter,  we  have  also 
experienced  a  number  of  addi- 
tional referrals  for  admission  for 
September  of  1983.  The  program 
still  faces  a  sizeable  exodus  of 
"Rubella"  students  in  1985-86, 
as  they  become  22  years  of  age. 
This  factor  is  weighing  heavily 
in  our  planning  for  the  pro- 
gram's future. 

Over  the  past  year,  our  feder- 
ally funded  Vocational  Model 
Project  (Project  A.D.V.A.N.C.E.) 
has  expanded  to  offer  off- 
campus  placement  to  25  stu- 
dents, a  sizeable  increase  in 
placements  over  the  prior  year. 
This  project  has  allowed  us  to 
develop  an  extensive  vocational 
placement  unit  over  the  past 
two  years,  and  sets  a  trend  for 
the  future  in  the  vocational 
preparation  for  deaf-blind 
students. 


This  past  year  has  also 
brought  a  major  shift  in  cot- 
tages: We  have  moved  the 
Keller-Sullivan  Unit  to  Eliot,  in 
order  to  create  more  program 
space  for  this  group  of  students. 
We  have  also  created  a  new  live- 
in  apartment  in  Tompkins,  and 
another  soon  to  come  in  Eliot. 
These  sites  provide  an  opportun- 
ity for  on-campus,  supervised 
apartment  living  as  a  training 
experience. 

Our  second  annual  Parent 
Workshop  was  successfully  held 
in  June,  with  over  half  of  our 
families  attending.  The  parent 
newsletter  continues  to  be  a 
most  successful  vehicle  for 
communication,  thanks  to  the 
efforts  of  our  parents  and  staff. 

Two  graduates  of  the  Deaf- 
Blind  Program  were  the  first 
deaf-blind  people  to  enter  Per- 
kins' community-based  housing 
for  adults.  These  two  young 
women  are  roommates  in  a 
lightly  supervised  apartment 
setting  in  Watertown.  It  is 
expected  that  many  more  stu- 
dents in  the  Deaf-Blind  Pro- 
gram will  avail  themselves  of 
such  services  in  future  years. 

As  we  anticipate  the  demise 
of  Federal  funding  for  the  deaf- 
blind  in  July  of  1983,  it  is  hoped 
that  Perkins  and  a  few  other 
large  deaf-blind  programs 
nationally  can  maintain  size- 
able programs.  Such  programs 
pre-dated  Federal  funding  and 
must  continue  to  exist,  if  there 
are  to  be  central  sources  of 
information  for  others 
nationally.

Project  ADVANCE,  a  three- 
year  federally  funded  vocational 
model  for  deaf-blind  youth, 
completed  its  second  year  of  pro- 
ject activities  during  1981-82.  A 
major  focus  during  this  aca- 
demic year  was  the  further 
expansion  and  strengthening  of 
ties  with  local  community 
employers,  thereby  enabling 
nineteen  deaf-blind  students, 
ages  16  through  22,  to  train  and 
work  off-campus  in  twenty-six 
work-site  placements.  These 
placements  have  offered  our 
students  a  variety  of  job  alter- 
natives with  varying  degrees  of 
supervision  in  both  small  busi- 
nesses and  large  corporations. 
This  year  also  saw  the  creation 
of  our  own  business,  an  apart- 
ment building  cleaning  service, 
as  an  additional  option  for  stu- 
dent employment. 

The  nature  of  this  trend 
toward  community-based  voca- 
tional training  has  placed  an 
emphasis  on  the  teaching  of 
appropriate  work  habits  and 
behaviors.  The  continued  sup- 
port and  cooperation  of  our  stu- 
dents' employers  and  co-workers 
has  proven  invaluable  to  the 
quality  and  success  of  this 
training. 


In  addition  to  providing  on- 
the-job  vocational  training  and 
paid  employment  experiences 
for  project  students,  our  staff 
of  six  continued  to  address  spe- 
cific activities  tied  to  the  model 
nature  of  our  project  including: 
developing  and  refining  voca- 
tional curricula  and  assessment 
tools;  collecting  and  analyzing 
data  to  measure  program  effec- 
tiveness in  terms  of  student 
work  performance  and  employer/ 
co-worker  attitudes;  and  compil- 
ing information  on  project  prac- 
tices for  a  replication  manual. 

During  the  course  of  the  year, 
project  staff  have  responded  to 
increasingly  widespread  interest 
in  our  model  through  several 
presentations  at  both  regional 
and  national  conferences.  A 
slide/tape  show  was  profession- 
ally produced  specifically  to 
meet  this  growing  demand  for 
our  participation  in  a  variety  of 
dissemination  and  in-service 
activities  over  the  next  year.  We 
look  forward  in  1982-83  to  con- 
tinue providing  quality  voca- 
tional training  for  deaf-blind 
adolescents  in  actual  work 
environments.

During  the  1981-82  year,  the 
Adult  Services  Program  served 
multi-impaired  adult  clients 
ages  18-45.  Referred  by  various 
state  and  local  agencies,  these 
clients  were  offered  program- 
ming in  prevocational  and 
vocational  training,  daily  living 
skills,  social  skill  development, 
and  clinical  services.  The  dura- 
tion of  each  client's  program 
remained  flexible,  reflecting  the 
immense  variety  of  individual 
needs. 


Referrals  for  programming  for 
head-injured  young  adults  con- 
tinued to  show  a  marked  in- 
crease. These  adults,  impaired 
physically  and  cognitively  as  a 
result  of  a  motor  vehicle  acci- 
dent, have  been  in  tremendous 
need  of  rehabilitation  services 
beyond  the  acute  hospital 
phase.  Perkins,  with  its  existing 
resources,  was  in  an  excellent 
position  to  modify  programs  to 
fill  this  service  need.  Given  that 
most  injured  clients  exhibit 


32 


some  degree  of  visual  or  percep- 
tual impairment,  we  thus  ex- 
panded our  commitment  to  serv- 
ing visually  impaired  adults. 

Adult  Services  moved  in 
another  new  direction  this  past 
year  by  serving  more  severely 
impared  blind  clients.  A  TEC 
contract  was  awarded  to  Per- 
kins for  one  year  to  provide  day 
programming  on  our  campus 
for  eleven  multi-impaired  blind 
clients  who  resided  at  the 
Walter  E.  Fernald  State  School. 
This  successful  program  con- 
cluded in  the  summer  of  1982, 
followed  by  the  awarding  of 
another  contract  for  the  coming 
year  to  provide  outreach  consul- 
tation services  to  the  staff 
at  Fernald. 

It  became  clear  that  the 
development  of  quality  pro- 
grams for  a  wider  variety  of 
clients  would  necessitate  altera- 
tions in  our  physical  facilities. 
There  was  a  special  need  for 
orthopedically  accessible 
accommodations  since  many  of 
our  clients  are  orthopedically 


impaired  and  wheelchair 
dependent.  Reconstruction  in 
our  residential  facility  began 
this  past  summer.  Bathrooms 
were  redesigned,  installation  of 
an  outside  ramp  was  begun, 
and  kitchens  were  designed  for 
each  apartment  unit.  Not  only 
will  the  building  be  more  adapt- 
able from  the  standpoint  of 
whom  it  can  serve,  but  it  will 
enhance  the  quality  of  daily  liv- 
ing instruction  that  can  take 
place  within  the  facility. 

Looking  at  the  referral  pat- 
tern for  the  upcoming  fall,  Adult 
Services  is  expected  to  double  in 
the  number  of  clients  residing 
here  on  a  residential  basis.  A 
reorganization  of  the  program  is 
being  planned,  dividing  it  into 
two  primary  units:  the  Head 
Injury  Unit  and  the  Multi- 
impaired  Blind  Unit.  This  will 
ensure  continuity  and  quality  of 
programming  on  a  twenty-four 
hour  basis.

Program  Supervisor 


The  Community  Residence  & 
Independent  Living  Services 
Program  became  a  reality  in 
March,  1982.  The  program  coor- 
dinated the  supervision  of  the 
Pequosette  Street  House  with  a 
live-in  residence  manager  and 
two  visually  impaired  adult 
women.  These  two  women  are 
active  during  the  day:  one  pro- 
cesses film  for  a  firm  in  Need- 
ham;  the  other  participates  in  a 
social  rehabilitation  program 
and  is  improving  her  food  ser- 
vice and  clerical  skills.  Future 
plans  include  adding  one  more 
client  to  this  residence  and 
assisting  the  current  residents 
in  goal-setting  toward  more 
independent  living. 


In  July,  the  Arsenal  Apart- 
ments became  ready  for  occu- 
pancy and  four  Perkins  gradu- 
ates were  assigned  to  two 
2-bedroom  apartments.  In 
August,  two  deaf-blind  women 
moved  into  another  2-bedroom 
apartment.  Part-time  instruction 
and  support  is  provided  for  each 
client  in  the  evenings.  During 
the  day  each  client  either  works 
or  receives  additional  training 
in  mobility  and  daily  living 
skills.  Two  other  apartments, 
which  are  wheelchair  accessible, 
will  also  become  part  of  the  pro- 
gram at  the  Arsenal  Apartment 
complex. 

Plans  for  1983  include  the 
opening  of  two  more  Perkins- 

33 


owned  houses  which  will 
accommodate  8  clients  each. 
Three  other  houses  are  in  the 
early  development  stages,  and 
discussion  with  the  various 
state  agencies  involved  will  con- 
tinue through  the  coming  year 


to  obtain  the  necessary  licenses 
and  permits.  The  program  is 
actively  building  a  referral  net- 
work for  each  house. 

Jack  Regan, 

Program  Supervisor 


The  staff  of  the  Teacher  Edu- 
cation Program  provided  in- 
struction to  the  Teacher  Trai- 
nees in  the  following  areas: 
English  as  a  second  language, 
special  education  issues,  abacus, 
handwriting,  and  typing. 

A  two-hour  weekly  Seminar 
was  provided  for  the  overseas 
trainees.  The  seminar  provided 
the  trainees  an  opportunity  to 
review  and  discuss  readings 
assigned  by  the  Teacher  Educa- 
tion Program  staff  as  well  as 
readings  in  their  courses  at  Bos- 
ton College.  Guest  speakers 
were  also  invited  to  discuss  spe- 
cific topical  areas  of  interest  to 
the  trainees.  Representative 
readings  and  topics  discussed  in 
the  seminar  included  the  follow- 
ing: Scott's  -  The  Making  of 
Blind  Men;  Carroll's  -  Blind- 
ness; Cutsforth's  -  Communica- 
tion Skills  for  the  Foreign  Born 
Professional. 

The  Teacher  Education  staff 
held  numerous  individual  meet- 
ings with  the  teacher  trainees 
throughout  the  year  to  advise 
and  counsel  them  about  their 
programs  and  courses  of  study 
at  Boston  College  and  Perkins, 
finances,  and  incidental  matters 
such  as  preparing  for  the  winter 
and  the  need  to  purchase 
appropriate  clothing,  and  any 
concerns  which  might  arise  in 


the  cottages.  In  addition  to 
individual  meetings,  the  staff  of 
the  Teacher  Education  Program 
held  small  group  meetings 
either  before  or  after  classes,  for 
the  purposes  of  providing  addi- 
tional information  regarding 
activities  at  Perkins,  or  for  clari- 
fying issues  or  problems  raised 
during  their  classes. 

Staff  meetings  were  held  by 
the  Coordinator  each  week.  The 
purpose  of  the  meetings  was  to 
review  weekly  plans  and  activi- 
ties, to  monitor  and  review  stu- 
dent progress,  to  identify  poten- 
tial problems  and  concerns 
regarding  each  trainee,  and  to 
plan  and  schedule  activities 
both  short  and  long  term  to  take 
place  in  the  school  year.  Many 
hours  of  staff  time  were  used  for 
the  preparation  of  classes.  This 
included  reading  and  evaluating 
papers  submitted  by  the  trai- 
nees on  their  assigned  readings, 
preparing  braille  and  print 
materials  for  dissemination  to 
the  trainees,  arranging  for  guest 
speakers  for  the  Seminars, 
selection  of  readings  for  taping 
by  volunteer,  and  arranging  vis- 
its to  various  programs  at 
Perkins.

Perkins  has  adapted  to  the 
needs  of  the  multi-impaired 
blind  and  deaf-blind  by  adapt- 
ing existing  programs  and  by 
developing  new  ones.  There 
remains  a  need  to  provide  occu- 
pational skill  training  to  blind 
and  partially  sighted  persons 
with  average  to  above-average 
abilities.  Perkins  School  for  the 
Blind  and  The  Massachusetts 
Commission  for  the  Blind  recog- 
nized this  need  and  created  a 
one-year  grant  to  research  and 
develop  innovative  occupational 
training  programs  to  prepare 
these  clients  to  enter  competitive 
employment. 

This  program,  Occupational 
Training  for  the  Blind,  conducts 
site  surveys  in  business  and 
industry  to  examine  employ- 
ment trends  and  to  determine 
the  areas  of  employment  where 
blind  persons  can  be  successful. 
The  information  derived  from 
these  analyses  is  used  to  create 
training  programs  which  will 
prepare  clients  for  occupations 
which  are  in  demand  in  the 
employment  sector  and  which 
offer  the  potential  for  some 
growth  to  the  blind  person. 


Given  the  high  cost  of  devel- 
oping programs  from  the 
ground  up,  we  are  primarily 
interested  in  integrating  clients 
into  existing  training  programs. 
Where  no  program  exists  we 
will  attempt  to  create  new  train- 
ing programs.  Training  will  be 
available  in  the  following  areas: 
word  processing,  clerical  and 
secretarial,  small  business 
ownership,  information  services, 
home  health  aide,  computer- 
related  occupations,  and  other 
areas  to  be  determined. 

In  addition  to  these 
community-based  training 
opportunities,  the  staff  of  Occu- 
pational Training  for  the  Blind 
will  provide  individual  on-the- 
job  training  to  clients  from  the 
Massachusetts  Commission  for 
the  Blind.  The  program  has 
conducted  a  seminar  for  train- 
ing employers  and  expects  to 
hold  similar  programs  in  the 
future. 

It  is  anticipated  that  these 
training  programs  will  be  made 
available  to  clients  from  other 
state  Commissions  for  the  Blind 
during  the  early  Spring  of  1983. 

Martin  C.  Kennedy, 

Coordinator 


The  theme  within  Clinical 
Services  during  1982  may  be 
best  characterized  by  stability 
and  refinement.  Major  staff 
recruitment  has  been  completed 
since  our  formal  inception  four 
years  ago,  and  it  is  a  pleasure  to 
note  that  a  team  of  clinical  spe- 
cialists has  grown  together  to 
develop  and  refine  a  broad  spec- 
trum of  unique  clinical  services. 
Although  very  few  staff  mem- 
bers have  left  our  team,  we  con- 
tinue to  recruit  new  members 


who  demonstrate  the  training 
and  ability  to  work  with  a  very 
special  population  of  new  and 
returning  students  and  clients. 
Our  primary  goal  is  to  continue 
to  provide  high  quality  clinical 
and  educational  services  which 
will  enable  each  student  and 
client  to  realize  his  or  her  great- 
est level  of  independence  and 
self-fulfillment. 

As  in  the  past,  the  specialists 
who  comprise  Clinical  Services 
include  psychologists,  social 


35 


workers,  occupational  thera- 
pists, physical  therapists, 
behavior  management  special- 
ists, speech  and  language 
pathologists,  an  educational 
assessment  specialist,  an  audi- 
ologist,  an  evaluation  supervi- 
sor, and  a  registrar.  These 
specialists  are  assigned  to  spe- 
cific programs  in  accordance 
with  the  clinical  needs  of  the 
students  in  that  given  program. 
Other  clinical  personnel,  such 
as  psychiatrists,  neuropsychol- 
ogists, and  medical  specialists, 
may  be  called  upon  to  consult  as 
necessary. 

The  well-identified  program- 
based  teams  of  clinicians,  in 
conjunction  with  program 
supervisors,  teachers,  and  cot- 
tage staff,  work  cooperatively  in 
providing  a  comprehensive 
array  of  integrated  and  visible 
services  which  reflect  a  refined 
interdisciplinary  team 
approach.  This  system  of  ser- 
vice delivery  facilitates  ongoing 
staff  training  through  regular 
discussions  and  modeling  and 
ensures  that  each  student 
receives  several  essential  servi- 
ces on  a  more  continuous  basis. 

Perkins  is  again  providing 
complete  medical  services  and 
other  specialized  consultations 
through  a  contract  agreement 
with  General  Medical  Asso- 
ciates, a  medical  group  which 
has  very  close  affiliations  with 
the  Massachusetts  General 
Hospital.  A  dental  program, 
initiated  in  1981  with  the  Tufts 
Dental  Facility  for  the  Handi- 
capped, has  enabled  us  to  con- 
tinue providing  dental  screen- 
ings as  well  as  preventive  and 
restorative  services. 

The  Coordinator  of  Clinical 
Services  is  responsible  for  the 


assignment  and  supervision  of 
all  clinical  staff  and  ensures 
that  appropriate  clinical  and 
medical  services  are  provided  to 
each  student  and  client.  This 
important  monitoring  function 
is  enhanced  through  close 
communication  with  the  Coor- 
dinator of  Instructional  Pro- 
grams, supervisors,  and  other 
program  staff.  Regularly  sche- 
duled meetings,  such  as  indi- 
vidual and  small  group  supervi- 
sion, task  forces,  steering 
committees,  and  other  planning 
and  "strategy"  sessions  provide 
ample  opportunity  for  informa- 
tion sharing  and  program 
development. 

The  evaluation  of  individuals 
who  are  referred  to  Perkins  for 
admission  or  recommendations 
is  regarded  as  an  important 
responsibility  by  Clinical  Servi- 
ces personnel  and  other  pro- 
gram staff.  During  1982,  the 
Supervisor  of  Evaluations 
worked  with  the  Coordinator  of 
Clinical  Services  in  processing 
119  requests  for  evaluations.  It 
is  significant  that  this  repres- 
ents the  greatest  number  of  ref- 
errals Perkins  has  received  in 
any  single  year  and  may  reflect 
our  determined  effort  to  provide 
a  centralized  evaluation  process 
which  is  timely,  flexible,  and 
sensitive  to  the  needs  of  indi- 
viduals and  their  families. 
Further  information  regarding 
our  evaluation  process  is  avail- 
able upon  request. 

The  staff  within  Clinical  Ser- 
vices are  continuously  critiquing 
the  way  in  which  services  are 
provided,  with  the  goal  of 
determining  better  ways  to 
serve  students  and  clients.  It  is 
through  this  critical  analysis 
that  we  attempt  to  refine  com- 


36 


munication,  improve  interpro- 
fessional relationships,  and 
optimize  the  team  approach.  We 
have  continued  to  provide 
opportunities  for  both  formal 
and  "hands-on"  in-service  train- 
ing through  team  meetings, 
seminars,  and  professional  con- 
ferences. We  have  also  increased 
our  university  affiliations  by 
providing  internship  opportuni- 
ties to  graduate  students  from 
various  clinical  disciplines. 
Consultation  and  education  to 
Perkins  personnel  and  to  com- 
munity groups  and  agencies 
upon  request  continues  to  be  an 
important  function  for  Clinical 
Services  staff. 

A  major  emphasis  is  being 
placed  on  the  strengthening  of  a 
consistent  and  positive  behav- 
ioral approach  in  which  stu- 
dents and  clients  are  rewarded 
for  appropriate  and  productive 
behavior.  At  the  same  time,  it  is 
esential  that  we  continue  to 
maintain  close  and  effective 


communication  with  families  so 
that  our  approaches  at  school 
and  at  home  are  complimen- 
tary. These  mutually  positive 
environments  will  greatly 
enhance  a  student's  potential 
for  learning.  It  is  important  to 
note  that  we  have  improved  our 
techniques  for  preventing 
behavioral  crises  and  are  better 
able  to  safely  intervene  when 
necessary.  Further,  a  Program 
Review  Team  has  been  formed 
which  provides  even  greater 
assurance  for  the  safety,  wel- 
fare, and  protection  of  the  rights 
of  each  student  and  client. 

As  in  the  past  four  years, 
Clinical  Services  staff  members 
remain  committed  to  the  goal  of 
maximizing  the  strengths  and 
potentials  of  each  student  and 
client  and  will  endeavor  to  pro- 
vide the  highest  quality  services 
in  the  future.

Coordinator 


The  Capital  Campaign  to 
raise  $300,000  toward  providing 
handicapped  access  to  the 
gymnasium-pool  area  was  com- 
pleted this  past  year,  thereby 
qualifying  for  the  Hayden 
Foundation  challenge  grant. 
Groundbreaking  took  place  in 
August,  and  the  renovation- 
construction  will  be  completed 
in  early  1983. 


The  Annual  Appeal  (Children 
of  the  Silent  Night)  continued 
its  upward  trend,  culminating  in 
a  record  total  of  $268,000.  The 
acquisition  mailing  program 
continued  to  provide  new  donors 
and  dollars.

On  an  ongoing  basis,  the  Die- 
tary, Laundry,  &  Housekeeping 
Department  endeavors  to  pro- 
vide nutritious  meals,  clean  cot- 
tages, and  fresh  linens  to  the 
clients  and  staff  at  Perkins.  A 
staff  of  more  than  fifty  people 
ensures  the  smooth  operation  of 
this  department. 


Early  last  summer  we  also 
were  given  the  opportunity  to 
display  our  versatility  by  pro- 
viding all  banquet  and  sundry 
other  food  services  for  the  cul- 
mination of  Perkins'  150th 
anniversary. 

Lincoln  Higgins, 

Supervisor

The  Finance  Department 
spent  the  1981-82  school  year 
refining  the  applications  of  Per- 
kins' computer  system.  Certain 
of  the  optional  features,  such  as 
benefit  accrual  reporting  on 
individual  employee  paychecks, 
were  implemented  during  the 
year.  We  also  further  developed 
our  understanding  and  use  of 
the  system  to  enable  us  to  pro- 
duce Financial  Statements  and 


Director's  drafts  on  a  timely 
basis. 

For  the  1983  school  year  we 
plan  to  implement  the  final 
module  of  the  system,  which  will 
be  automated  budget  and  com- 
parative departmental  expense 
reporting.

Director 


Areas  of  responsibility  of  the 
Office  of  Instructional  Support 
Services  are  numerous  and  var- 
ied. A  brief  report  on  each 
follows: 

Instructional  Materials  Service  - 
The  Instructional  Materials 
Center,  relocated  last  year  in  the 
Howe  Building,  continues  to 
serve  all  of  the  Perkins  pro- 
grams and  is  staffed  by  a  full- 
time  instructional  materials 


technician.  The  new  area  is 
being  used  effectively  in  spite  of 
major  construction  (elevator 
project)  at  one  end  of  the  I.M.C. 
room.  Instructional  Materials 
Services  include  maintenance  of 
all  audio-visual  equipment,  lend- 
ing this  equipment,  working 
cooperatively  with  teachers  in 
the  development  of  programs 
and  teaching  materials,  con- 
ducting filming,  showing  of 


39 


films,  videotaping  various  pro- 
grams within  the  school,  main- 
taining hearing  aid  services, and 
other  associated  functions. 

School  Library  -  Having  been 
separated  physcially  from  the 
Regional  Library  last  year,  the 
school  library  operated  in  its 
new  location  in  the  west  Study 
Hall  of  the  Howe  Building  this 
year.  The  school  library  con- 
tinues to  serve  all  of  Perkins' 
programs  and  is  staffed  by  a 
3/4-time  library  aide.  This  year 
the  school  library  expanded  its 
collection  of  print  and  large 
print  books  by  about  250  titles, 
and  its  Braille  collection  by 
about  50  titles.  Also  available  to 
our  students  are  the  extensive 
resources  of  the  Mass.  Regional 
Library  for  the  provision  of 
recorded  books.  This  year  spe- 
cial emphasis  was  placed  on 
providing  high  interest-low 
vocabulary  materials  to  meet 
the  changing  needs  of  our  stu- 
dents. Circulation  has  increased 
steadily  each  month  of  the  regu- 
lar school  year.  A  consolidation 
of  the  Upper  and  Lower  School 
Libraries  in  the  Howe  Building 
is  currently  in  the  planning 
stages.  This  merger  will  bring 
together  material  at  all  reading 
levels  in  one  location.  Our  goal 
for  the  school  library  is  to  con- 
tinue to  expand  our  collection 
and  services  to  better  provide 
curriculum  support  to  the 
instructional  programs  and  to 
encourage  independent  reading 
by  our  students. 

Staff  Training  -  A  full-time  staff 
member  is  responsible  for  train- 
ing our  staff  in  First  Aid  as 
required  by  law,  and  also  for 
providing  training  in  several 
other  areas  deemed  important 
by  Perkins.  Some  of  the  subjects 


40 


emphasized  this  year  are  des- 
cribed below. 

In  October  an  entire  day  was 
devoted  to  training  our  staff 
members  in  Fire  Extinguisher 
Usage.  This  training,  which 
consisted  of  film  showings, 
demonstrations,  explanations, 
and  hands-on  practice  in  put- 
ting out  live  fires,  was  made 
available  to  all  of  our  staff. 

All  Perkins  staff  members 
who  drive  school  vehicles  are 
required  to  take  instruction  in 
Perkins  Procedures  and  Safety 
Concerns.  This  year  238  staff 
members  were  trained  and  then 
qualified  to  drive  Perkins  cars. 

Our  staff  trainer  spent  forty- 
one  hours  teaching  First  Aid, 
Crisis  Prevention  and  Physical 
Intervention,  and  New  Games 
at  other  agencies  this  year.  Fees 
for  this  service  totaled  $810.00. 

A  total  of  214  staff  members 
took  formal  courses  on  campus 
with  the  staff  trainer  this  year. 
Courses  and  numbers  in  atten- 
dance were  as  follows:  First  Aid 
and  CPR  -  80,  Crisis  Prevention 
and  Physical  Intervention  -  70, 
Water  Safety  -  14,  Fire  Safety  - 
50.  Additional  first  aid  pro- 
grams reached  more  than  50 
other  staff  members  including 
15  parents  of  our  Pre-School  and 
Infant-Toddler  programs.  The 
New  Games  training  involved 
over  30  staff  members  and  50 
students  this  year. 

Volunteer  Services  -  The  volun- 
teer program  at  Perkins  con- 
tinues to  serve  as  a  very  valua- 
ble support  service.  Our 
volunteers  serve  as  academic, 
cottage,  recreational,  and  physi- 
cal education  aides.  They  come 
to  us  at  an  average  rate  of  12 
per  day  on  weekdays  and  6  per 
day  on  weekends. 


Curriculum  Development  -  The 
major  emphasis  of  the  Instruc- 
tional Support  Services  Office  in 
the  area  of  grant  development  is 
to  write  proposals  and  evalua- 
tions for  the  Title  I  89-313  enti- 
tlement grants  offered  by  the 
federal  government  and  admin- 
istered by  state  governments.  At 
present,  Perkins  receives  Title  I 
funds  from  5  states:  Maine,  New 
Hampshire,  Vermont,  Rhode 
Island,  and  Massachusetts.  The 
Massachusetts  project  this  year 
was  entitled  "Individualized 
Clinical  Services  -  Phase  II," 
and  the  funds  were  used  to  pay 
salaries  of  AVz  members  of  the 
Clinical  Services  staff.  The 
grant  totaled  $97,125.00. 

Funds  from  the  other  four 
states  were  combined  to  pay  a 
fraction  of  the  salary  of  a  Work 
Activities  specialist.  These  pro- 
jects all  carried  the  title,  Work 
Activities  -  Industrial  Training 
Project.  The  sum  of  Title  I 
monies  received  under  these  pro- 
jects was  $9,012.07. 

Once  again  Perkins  cooper- 
ated with  the  Town  of  Water- 
town  in  submitting  a  Title  IV  B 
grant.  The  $5214.55  received 
from  this  grant  was  used  for  the 
purchase  of  materials  for  the 
Occupational  Therapy 
Department. 

Licensing  and  Accreditation  - 
Licenses  must  be  requested 
annually  from  several  agencies 
before  Perkins  can  operate  as  a 
school  for  handicapped  chil- 
dren. These  licenses  are  granted 
by  the  Department  of  Special 
Education,  the  Office  for  Chil- 
dren, the  Department  of  Mental 
Health,  the  Watertown  Fire 
Department  and  the  Watertown 
Board  of  Health.  In  addition, 
Perkins  chooses  to  seek  accredi- 


tation from  two  agencies:  The 
New  England  Association  of 
Schools  and  Colleges  and  the 
National  Accreditation  Council 
for  Agencies  Serving  the  Blind 
and  Visually  Handicapped. 
Licensing  and  accreditation  are 
accomplished  through  inspec- 
tions, self  study,  and  on-site 
reviews.  Approvals  from  all  of 
the  above  agencies  for  the  cur- 
rent year  have  been  received. 

Rental  and  Use  of  Space  -  The 
Instructional  Support  Services 
Office  deals  with  other  agencies 
and  individuals  in  the  renting  of 
our  auditorium,  meeting  rooms, 
gyms,  swimming  pool,  and  a 
few  other  campus  facilities. 
Renters  are  asked  to  meet  with 
the  Coordinator  of  Instructional 
Support  Services  to  review 
terms  of  rental  and  to  sign  an 
agreement  form.  A  review  of 
rates  is  currently  underway. 

Based  on  an  hourly  charge,  a 
rate  structure  will  be  set  which 
will  take  into  account  which 
category  the  renting  agency 
falls  into:  Agencies  for  the  Hand- 
icapped, Private  Non-Profit ,  or 
Agencies  for  Profit.  Non-rental 
use  of  these  spaces  is  closely 
watched  by  this  office  to  avoid 
double-scheduling.  Receipts  for 
rental  of  space  at  Perkins  for 
the  first  ten  months  of  1981-1982 
totaled  $4,197.25. 

Safety  and  Security  -  A  Safety 
and  Security  Committee  com- 
posed of  the  Coordinator  of 
Instructional  Support  Services, 
the  In-Service  training  instruc- 
tor, and  five  (recently  increased 
to  six)  staff  members  serves  to 
advise  the  administration  on  all 
matters  pertaining  to  safety  and 
security,  and  to  pursue  all  perti- 
nent endeavors  necessary  to 
ensure  the  safety  and  security  of 


41 


the  school.  The  committee  is 
divided  into  five  sub-committees 
which  meet  regularly  to  deal 
with  issues  in  their  specific  area 
of  concern.  Below  are  listed  the

Perkins  is  required  to  have  an 
administrator  on  duty  "on  the 
premises"  at  all  times  when  the 
school  is  in  session.  This  regula- 
tion poses  no  problem  during 
normal  daytime  hours,  but  in 
order  to  comply,  we  assign 
administrators  to  duty  each 
evening  from  5:00  p.m.  until  8:00 
the  next  morning,  and  also  for 
the  entire  weekend.  The  person 
on  duty  is  known  as  the  Admin- 
istrator for  Emergency  Cover- 
age (A.E.C.)  Eight  of  our  admin- 
istrators work  on  a  rotation 
basis  to  provide  this  coverage. 

Transportation  -  This  office  is 
responsible  for  monitoring  all 
daily,  weekly,  and  holiday 
transportation  of  students.  In 


42 


order  to  perform  this  function  a 
close  liaison  is  necessary  with 
parents,  cottages,  cab  compan- 
ies, and  sponsoring  agencies.  In 
the  case  of  a  few  students,  par- 
ents transport  their  own  chil- 
dren, but  for  at  least  three- 
quarters  of  our  students  travel 
by  cab,  some  by  plane,  and  a 
few  by  train  and  bus.  This  office 
utilizes  available  staff  members 
as  drivers  and  guides  to  trans- 
port students  to  and  from  bus 
and  train  terminals  in  Boston 
and  Logan  Airport.  In  doing  so, 
the  Perkins  fleet  of  nine  station 
wagons  and  vans  is  made  avail- 
able. The  daily  use  of  these  veh- 
icles is  also  a  responsibility  of 


the  Instructional  Support  Servi- 
ces office. 

National  School  Lunch  Pro- 
gram -  For  the  last  four  years 
Perkins  has  taken  part  in  the 
"National  Special  Milk  Pro- 
gram" which  is  a  part  of  the 
National  School  Lunch  Pro- 
gram. Through  this  program  we 
are  reimbursed  for  our  student 
milk  consumption  at  an  average 
of  about  $1,000  per  month.  For 
the  school  year  September  1982  - 
July  1982  the  total  reimburse- 
ment figure  was  $10,256.31. 

A.  Claude  Ellis, 

Coordinator 


The  Personnel  Office  made 
major  strides  towards  the  goal 
of  centralizing  the  personnel 
function  at  Perkins  during  Fis- 
cal Year  1982. 

The  main  area  of  concentra- 
tion was  in  employment.  The 
Personnel  Office  was  aided  in 
this  endeavor  by  the  addition  of 
an  Employment  Manager.  The 
Employment  Manager's  pri- 
mary duties  were  to  recruit  qual- 
ified personnel  for  employment. 
New  recruitment  strategies 
included  participating  in  college 
job  fairs  and  establishing  a 
Resource  list  of  over  thirty 
institutions  and  agencies  from 
which  to  recruit  personnel.  In 
addition,  a  new  employee  orien- 
tation program  was  instituted  in 


order  to  introduce  new  em- 
ployees to  Perkins. 

The  Personnel  Office  also 
became  a  source  of  substitutes 
and  temporary  employees  to  fill 
in  for  permanent  staff.  Other 
activities  that  the  Personnel 
Office  was  involved  in  included: 
revision  of  its  Affirmative 
Action  Plan;  creation  of  a  Pen- 
sion Plan  Committee  to  review 
the  Perkins  Retirement  Plan; 
creation  of  an  Evaluation 
Committee  to  develop  new  eval- 
uation forms;  development  of  an 
employees'  activities  program; 
employee  consulting;  and  the 
development  of  Perkins'  first 
Employee  Handbook. 

Kenneth  Melanson, 

Director 


A  sensitive  and  strong  public 
relations  program  must  have 
higher  goals  than  to  simply 
"influence  the  media"  or  to  "get 
publicity."  We  believe  that  the 
effectiveness  of  our  public  rela- 
tions influence  and  the  quality 
of  our  publicity  are  far  more 


important  targets.  To  that  end, 
our  program  has  several  goals: 
1.  To  publicize  our  existence, 
purposes,  activities,  and  achieve- 
ments so  that  our  various  pub- 
lics will  know  who  we  are  and 
what  we  are  doing. 


43 


2.  To  enlist  support  and  coop- 
eration from  government  agen- 
cies, the  private  sector,  civic  and 
community  groups,  and  from 
disabled  and  non-disabled  per- 
sons in  our  community. 

3.  To  articulate  the  needs  of 
blind,  deaf-blind,  visually  and 
multi-impaired  children  and 
adults,  so  that  they  might  be 
better  considered  in  legislation 
and  public  policy. 

4.  To  raise  consciousness 
among  specific  publics,  and 
among  the  general  public,  so 
that  the  attitudinal  barriers  of 
prejudice,  paternalism  and  con- 
descension, ignorance  and  fear 
—  and  the  damage  they  have 
caused  —  may  be  eradicated. 

5.  To  establish  channels  of 
communication  through  which 
our  message  may  travel  with 
increasing  rapidity,  clarity,  and 
credibility. 

The  concepts  embodied  in 
these  goals  are  broad,  certainly; 
but,  their  implementation  dur- 
ing the  '81-'82  school  year  was 
much  more  specific. 

Getting  to  know  the  local  edi- 
tors and  writers  at  newspapers 
and  radio  and  TV  stations  was 
the  first  step  in  implementing 
our  public  relations  program. 
We  consider  "the  media"  to  be 
our  most  important  public.  .  . 
For  it  is  "the  media"  who  are 
the  keys  that  unlock  the  doors 
of  public  opinion.  And  since  edi- 
tors and  writers  and  other 
members  of  "the  media"  who 
"know"  us  are  better  able  to 
appreciate  the  stories,  press 
releases,  and  ideas  we  pass  on 
to  them,  our  first  step  was  to 
"influence  the  media"  with  an 
effective  and  quality  campaign. 
To  this  end  we  used  several 
tools  of  our  trade: 


1.  News  Releases 

The  cornerstone  of  any  public 
relations  program,  the  news 
release  is  welcomed  by  media 
people,  whether  or  not  they  use 
it.  The  best  release,  though,  is 
short,  to  the  point,  requires  little 
or  no  rewriting,  and  gets  to  the 
right  place  at  the  right  time. 
Thus,  selecting  appropriate 
media  for  our  messages  was  a 
key  ingredient  of  the  '81-'82 
campaign.  Each  medium,  and 
nearly  every  department  or 
component  within  it,  has  the 
potential  for  carrying  our  mes- 
sage to  some  segment  of  the 
publics  we're  trying  to  reach. 
But  before  we  could  access  and 
impact  them,  we  had  to  know 
who  they  were  and  where  to 
find  them.  Our  media  contacts 
currently  include  editors  of  daily 
newspapers,  weekly  newspap- 
ers, wire  services  (AP  and  UPI), 
magazine  editors,  editors  of  pri- 
vate and  public  agencies'  publi- 
cations interested  in  disabled 
people,  public  information  offic- 
ers of  agencies  concerned  with 
disabled  people,  radio  and  TV 
news  and  assignment  editors, 
talk  show  hosts,  and  public  ser- 
vice directors  at  radio  and  TV 
stations. 

2.  Radio  and  TV  appearances 
We  arranged  for  Perkins  staff 

and  students  to  be  an  integral 
and/or  sole  part  of  five  televi- 
sion programs  and  three  radio 
broadcasts. 

3.  Speeches,  Conferences 
We  represented  Perkins  at 

three  major  professional  confer- 
ences (A.E.V.H.  in  Vancouver, 
B.C.;  C.E.C.  in  Houston;  and  the 
President's  Committee  on 
Employment  of  the  Handi- 
capped in  Washington,  D.C.) 
and  visited  one  dozen  neighbor- 


44 


ing  communities  to  speak  before 
civic  and  educational  leaders. 

4.  Tours 

The  Office  of  Public  Relations 
&  Publications  conducted 
and/or  arranged  for  campus 
tours  for  nearly  500  persons. 

5.  Community  Thank-You 

We  arranged  a  breakfast  and 
program  for  the  Watertown 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  out  of 
which  five  local  employers 
expressed  interest  in  developing 
a  vocational  training  relation- 
ship with  Perkins  students  and 
clients. 

6.  Public  Service  Announcements 
We  produced  a  30-second 

"commercial"  for  Perkins 
which,  during  the  latter  half  of 
the  '81-;82  school  year,  was 
aired  5-7  times  weekly  on  all  five 
major  Boston  TV  stations. 

7.  Display 

We  developed  an  8'  X  8'  port- 
able display  which  we  have 
used  at  the  above-mentioned 
conferences  and  local  busi- 
nesses where  pedestrian  traffic 
is  heavy. 

8.  Special  Events 

The  International  Symposium 
on  6/20  -  6/23/82  and  its  con- 
cluding celebration,  the  Ray 
Charles  concert,  afforded  us 
great  opportunity  for  visibility. 
For  example,  we  were  able  to  get 
two  major  Boston  TV  stations 
to  cover  the  concert.  In  addition, 
some  three  dozen  newspapers  — 
including  The  Boston  Globe,  the 
Herald  American,  and  the 
Boston  Phoenix  —  covered  the 
concert  in  significant  propor- 
tion, and  nearly  two  dozen  radio 
stations  gave  us  substantial  pre- 
and  post-concert  publicity. 

In  addition,  the  annual 
Christmas  concerts  presented  us 
with  additional  opportunity  for 
extensive  media  coverage.  As  a 


result,  more  than  2500  persons 
attended  the  three  concerts,  and 
literally  thousands  more  heard 
about  Perkins  via  newspaper 
and  radio  coverage  (for  exam- 
ple, WCRB-FM,  the  pre-eminent 
classical  music  radio  station  in 
the  Boston  area,  taped  one  of 
our  concerts  and  then  aired  that 
recording  to  its  listeners  the 
following  week). 

9.  Publications 

—  The  Lantern's  format  and 
editorial  style  were  significantly 
modified,  perhaps  explaining 
the  9%  increase  in  "subscrip- 
tion" requests  during  the  '81-'82 
school  year. 

—  The  Annual  Report  was 
requested  by  some  1800  libraries 
and  institutions  throughout  the 
U.S.  and  the  world. 

—  Brochures  and  Media  Kits 
We  began  production  of  a  series 
of  informational  brochures  for 
every  Perkins  program  of  edu- 
cation and  training,  and  an 
"overview"  package  into  which 
all  of  these  various  separate 
brochures  could  be  placed.  The 
project  is  nearly  complete.  We 
feel,  as  a  result,  that  we  are  now 
better  able  to  present  a  defini- 
tive, positive  image  of  the  total, 
complex  picture  here. 

—  Sales  Catalog 

For  Howe  Press,  the  first  of  its 
kind. 

10.  Other  Areas 

In  addition  to  public  relations 
and  publications  activities,  this 
office  also  supervises  the  opera- 
tion of  other  Perkins  depart- 
ments: Mail,  Duplicating,  and 
Communication  Systems.  Each 
of  these  areas  was  scrutinized  so 
that  they  could  be  operated 
more  efficiently  and  more 
cost-effectively.

Coordinator

These  supervisors,  whom  I  have  quoted,  are  always  available  for 
further  explanation  and  interpretation  of  their  roles  at  Perkins. 
Each  program  also  is  fully  explained  in  brochures  available  to 
interested  individuals. 

It  is  impossible  in  any  kind  of  a  report  to  give  full  credit  to  their 
work,  as  this  would  require  dealing  in  volumes  rather  than  one 
brief  annual  publication.

NEW  ENGLAND  REGIONAL  CENTER  FOR 
SERVICES  TO  DEAF-BLIND  CHILDREN  1982 


233  deaf-blind  students  in 
New  England  received  services 
during  the  1981-1982  school 
year.  Of  these,  210  benefitted  by 
added  attention  through 
$846,536  in  Federal  funds, 
administered  by  the  New  Eng- 
land Regional  Center  for  Servi- 
ces to  Deaf-Blind  Children, 
under  the  sponsorship  of  Per- 
kins School  for  the  Blind.  The 
students  received  educational 
programming  in  30  agencies 
located  in  the  six  New  England 
states  and  private  schools. 

The  Center  seeks  the  growth 
of  expertise  in  teaching  staff, 
enrichment  of  programs 
through  support  of  direct  servi- 
ces salaries,  and  transfer  of 
skills  from  established  pro- 
grams to  those  whose  mandate 
has  widened  to  provide  educa- 
tion services  for  students  with 
multiple  impairments.  The 
Regional  Center  thus  continued 
its  monetary  support  of  educa- 
tion services  for  deaf-blind 
children  and  its  role  as  a 
resource  provider  to  schools, 
community  programs  and 
families. 

The  "rubella  wave"  children, 
now  in  their  mid-teens,  will  need 
a  continuum  of  services  as  they 


leave  education  entitlements 
and  seek  work  or  work-like 
activities  in  competition  with 
others  having  similar  needs. 
The  Regional  Center  seeks  to 
smooth  the  transition  for  this 
group,  and  has  a  Long-Term 
Planning  Consultant  with  expe- 
rience and  training  in  prevoca- 
tional  requirements  and  adult 
programs. 

Special  needs  programs  in 
towns  lack  trained  teachers  of 
the  deaf-blind  because  of  the 
low-incidence  of  the  dual 
impairment.  The  Center  brings 
expertise  to  the  home  or  class 
through  its  traveling  Educa- 
tional Consultant.  The  consul- 
tant team  has  a  frequently  used 
ability  to  advocate  for  special 
programs  and  evaluations. 

Families  of  deaf-blind  chil- 
dren have  benefitted  from 
Regional  Center  training  in 
advocacy,  using  the  special  edu- 
cation laws  and  legal  issues. 
They  have  also  met  one  another 
in  "neutral"  territory  and  found 
it  supportive.  The  transition  of 
the  deaf-blind  student  to  adult 
services  often  implies  some 
serious  planning  by  the  family. 
The  Family  Services  Consultant 
at  the  Center,  through  parent 


46 


groups,  workshops,  individual 
counselling,  and  advocacy, 
assisted  in  meeting  these  needs. 
A  regional  family  weekend 
workshop  was  held  to  address 
legal  and  other  issues. 

The  Center  operates  a  circu- 
lating resource  library,  conducts 
liaison  with  Washington,  other 
regions,  and  state  agencies.  For 
these  and  program  control  func- 
tions it  has  a  Coordinator  and  a 
Secretary. 

The  Center  sponsored  a  three- 
day  workshop  in  October  of 
1981,  attended  by  85  new  staff 
from  across  New  England,  and 
a  three-session  beginning  lan- 
guage series  in  New  Hampshire 
and  Rhode  Island.  Another  ses- 
sion concentrated  upon  residen- 
tial and  vocational  options  for 
the  deaf-blind,  to  assist  pro- 
grams with  adult  services 
planning. 

The  Center  revised  and  dis- 
tributed its  resource  materials 
list.  A  total  of  1,100  individual 
books  and  articles  were  shipped 
during  the  year. 

Three  Regional  Advisory 
Committee  meetings  were  held 
to  ensure  the  participation  of 
professionals  in  planning  and 
in  developing  directions  for  the 
Center.  The  Center  issued  a 
newsletter  at  regular  intervals 
to  promote  communication  in 
the  field. 


Federal  policy  regarding  edu- 
cation continues  to  threaten  the 
continuity  of  specialized  feder- 
ally funded  services  for  deaf- 
blind  children.  The  fourth  year 
of  a  five-year  extendable  con- 
tract with  the  Department  of 
Education  was  completed  on 
June  30,  1982.  The  fifth  year 
extension  has  been  awarded  to 
cover  the  period  through  June 
30,  1983.

Court  assembled,  and  by  the  authority  of  the  same  on  June  1,  1982 
as  follows: 

SECTION  1.  Section  1  of  Chapter  113  of  the  acts  of  1829  is 
hereby  amended  by  adding  at  the  end  thereof  the  following:  —  and

REPORT  OF  THE  PRESIDENT-1981-82 

We  are  greatly  enouraged  by  the  relatively  large  number  of  per- 
sons who  have,  this  year,  agreed  to  support  the  Perkins  School  by 
joining  us  as  incorporators.  Some  are  relatives  of  persons  whose 
services  date  back  a  number  of  years.  Others  are  finding  their  way 
into  our  "family"  for  the  first  time.  Each  becomes  extremely  impor- 
tant as  we  weave  a  structure  of  support  for  the  programs  we  spon- 
sor. I  welcome  you  on  this  occasion. 

I  anticipate  that  history  will  confirm  the  wisdom  of  the  action 
you  have  taken  on  this  date.  November  1,  1982  will  be  recorded  as 
the  date  we,  through  a  Charter  Change,  reconfirmed  our  commit- 
ment of  service  to  the  blind  and  visually  impaired  of  the  world, 
while  at  the  same  time  opened  our  doors  to  others  with  impair- 
ments that  do  not  necessarily  include  blindness.  Our  campus,  our 
resources,  and  our  collective  influence  and  wisdom  can  now  be 
shared  through  the  extension  of  our  services.  I  appreciate  all  of  the 
effort  that  various  individuals  —  in  particular,  our'Charter  Change 
Committee  —  have  put  forth  to  make  this  possible. 

The  theme  for  today,  "New  Horizons  of  Service,"  encompasses 
much  of  what  we  have  done  this  past  year,  program atically  speak- 
ing. For  example,  we  are  on  the  verge  of  implementing  a  new  edu- 
cation and  training  program  for  the  severely  impaired;  and  we 
expanded  our  interests  and  involvement  in  community  residence 
training  and  the  development  of  programs  to  foster  independent 
living. 

The  150th  Anniversary  Celebration  that  began  March  29,  1979 
came  to  a  climax  in  June  of  this  year.  An  International  Sympo- 
sium, "Visions  of  the  Future:  The  Role  of  the  Residential  Schools 
for  the  Blind  —  Past,  Present,  and  Future,"  was  highlighted  by  a 
Ray  Charles  Concert  on  the  campus,  with  1,200  people  in  attend- 
ance, which  capped  the  celebration.  Perkins'  153-year  history  is 
properly  recorded  and  nicely  bound  for  posterity.  Anyone  interested 
in  the  subject  would  be  welcomed  in  Perkins'  Samuel  P.  Hayes 
Research  Library.  Keeping  our  efforts  before  the  public  and  the 
constituency  we  serve  or  anticipate  serving  is  a  big  effort.  This 
year,  with  the  addition  of  a  Coordinator  of  Public  Relations  & 
Publications,  our  public  relations  and  publications  efforts  have 
intensified.  Most  of  you  have  seen  some  of  the  results,  part  of  which 
is  before  you  today. 

Jumping  back  now  to  last  year's  report  and  picking  it  up  on  a 
subject  that  has  been  very  close  to  my  heart  these  past  few  years  — 
the  matter  of  conserving  our  resources  by  controlling  our  energy 
costs  —  I  wish  to  call  to  your  attention  the  fact  that  our  electricity 
costs  were  reduced  by  nearly  5%  over  last  year;  our  electricity  usage 
by  10%;  our  oil  costs  by  28%;  and  oil  consumption  by  25%.  This, 
translated  into  dollars,  means  a  savings  of  $109,556. 1  plan  to 
recommend  to  the  trustees  further  study  through  a  second  energy 
audit  and  further  conservation  efforts.

While  on  the  subject  of  energy  and  finances,  it  is  worth  noting 
that  our  1982  deficit  is  high  but  less  than  1981,  and  our  endowment 
and  similar  funds  increased  slightly.  Remember,  it  is  during  the 
past  two  or  three  years  that  we  have  spent  over  3  million  dollars  in 
altering  our  physical  plant  as  part  of  our  effort  to  make  it  totally 
accessible  to  the  orthopedically  impaired. 

Expenditures  to  start  new  programs,  achieve  accessibility,  and 
refurbish  our  70-year-old  physical  plant  bring  to  our  attention  the 
need  for  continued  efforts  at  fundraising,  and  perhaps  the  need  for 
a  concerted  effort  to  increase  our  endowment. 

I  have  asked  the  Director  in  his  report  to  elaborate  on  some  of  the 
topics  that  I  have  mentioned  and,  of  course,  he  will  speak  on  other 
topics  as  well. 

Each  year  we  recognize  the  loss  we  experience  as  some  members 
of  our  Corporation  leave  us.  Since  our  last  meeting,  the  following 
incorporators  have  passed  on: 

Dr.  Francis  M.  Andrews  —  March,  1982 

Mrs.  Francis  H.  Appleton,  Jr.  —  January,  1982 

Mr.  Nelson  Chapel  —  February,  1982 

Mrs.  Alfred  Kidder  —  February,  1982 

Mr.  Charles  Maliotis  —  February,  1982 

Mr.  Richard  Saltonstall  —  May,  1982 

Mrs.  Richard  Saltonstall  —  February,  1982 

Mr.  Warner  Stenquist  —  May,  1982 

Mrs.  Edward  J.  Waterhouse  —  August,  1982 

Among  this  group  we  note  there  are  several  members  of  long 
standing.  As  an  example,  the  Saltonstall  family  has  served  the 
school  since  the  1800s.  This  year,  their  family  experienced  a  double 
loss.  However,  the  Saltonstall  family's  tradition  of  support  is 
carried  forth  by  Dudley  and  Sally  Willis.  Mrs.  Sina  Fladeland 
Waterhouse  gave  over  a  half-century  of  service  to  Perkins.  These 
commitments  are  part  of  the  core  of  our  existence.  These  losses  are 
significant,  and  their  services  will  be  missed. 

In  closing,  I  wish  to  commend  the  entire  Perkins  staff  for  the 
daily  commitment  they  make,  tasks  they  cheerfully  undertake,  and 
their  dedication  to  improving  the  lives  of  students  and  clients.  As 
Board  members  and  incorporators,  we  should  reach  out  to  these 
individuals  and  continue  our  support  in  every  way.

TREASURER'S  REPORT 


The  report  of  the  Treasurer  for  the  year  ended  August  31,  1982  is  submit- 
ted herewith.  The  accounts  of  the  Corporation  were  audited  by  Coopers  & 
Lybrand,  and  their  report  is  attached. 

Income  from  tuition  and  board  was  $3,221,345,  an  increase  of  $76,596 
over  last  year.  The  decrease  in  enrollment  from  210  to  194  was  offset  by  the 
increase  in  tuition  rates.  Investment  income  of  $2,413,709  was  $428,723 
higher  than  the  previous  year  largely  due  to  the  high  interest  rates 
obtained  on  our  short-term  funds  plus  some  increase  in  dividends  and 
other  bond  interest.  Total  income  from  all  sources  was  $7,550,348  including 
Federal  Grants. 

Operating  expenses  of  $8,434,908  were  $695,640  higher  than  the  previous 
year.  Of  this  amount,  increases  in  higher  salaries,  health  insurance  and 
other  benefits,  and  social  security  taxes  totalled  $515,000.  Other  expenses 
increased  in  all  our  programs.  The  Administration  and  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees are  giving  increased  attention  to  devising  ways  of  reducing  our  opera- 
ting expenses  substantially  while  maintaining  the  excellence  of  our  pro- 
grams. This  is  not  an  easy  task.  Perhaps  an  increase  in  income  as  the 
result  of  the  change  of  our  charter  will  help  this. 

Expenses  for  the  year  exceeded  income  by  $884,560.  This  amount  was 
charged  $820,819  to  Unrestricted  Invested  Funds  and  $56,741  to  the  princi- 
pal of  the  Deaf-Blind  Fund.  In  the  prior  year  the  comparable  total  deficit 
was  $1,061,601. 

The  Howe  Press  sales  were  $531,000  less  than  last  year.  We  shipped 
6,376  Braillers,  2,200  less  than  last  year;  so  that  dollar  sales  of  the  Perkins 
Brailler  were  $1,916,479,  a  decrease  of  $454,000  against  last  year.  Costs 
could  not  be  reduced  as  much,  resulting  in  a  net  operating  income  of 
$225,594.  Investment  income  was  $96,192  so  that  the  Press  had  an  excess  of 
income  over  expenses  of  $321,786  for  the  year. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

John  W.  Bryant,  Treasurer 
November  1,  1982

INDEPENDENT  CERTIFIED  PUBLIC 
ACCOUNTANTS'  REPORT 


To  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind: 

We  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  as 
of  August  31,  1982,  the  related  condensed  statement  of  current  funds 
expenditures  and  resources  used  to  meet  expenditures,  statement  of  income 
and  expense  of  The  Howe  Press  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  and 
summary  of  changes  in  fund  balances  for  the  year  then  ended.  Our  exami- 
nation was  made  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  stand- 
ards and,  accordingly,  included  such  tests  of  the  accounting  records  and 
such  other  auditing  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circum- 
stances. We  previously  examined  and  reported  upon  the  1981  financial 
statements  of  the  School  which  are  included  in  condensed  form  for 
comparative  purposes  only. 

When  legacies  received  are  unrestricted  as  to  principal,  the  School  does 
not  consider  them  as  current  funds  resources  but  adds  them  directly  to 
funds  functioning  as  endowments  as  reflected  in  the  statement  of  changes 
in  fund  balances. 

In  our  opinion,  except  that  legacies  unrestricted  as  to  principal  have  not 
been  reflected  as  current  funds  resources,  the  aforementioned  financial 
statements  present  fairly  the  financial  position  of  Perkins  School  for  the 
Blind  at  August  31,  1982,  its  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  used 
to  meet  expenditures,  the  income  and  expense  of  The  Howe  Press  of 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  and  the  changes  in  its  fund  balances  for  the 
year  then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  princi- 
ples applied  on  a  basis  consistent  with  that  of  the  preceding  year. 

The  financial  statements  referred  to  in  the  foregoing  opinion  are  set  forth 
on  pages  62  to  69,  inclusive,  of  this  report.  Our  examination  was  made 
primarily  for  the  purpose  of  rendering  an  opinion  on  these  basic  financial 
statements,  taken  as  a  whole.  The  other  data  included  in  this  report  on 
pages  70  to  78,  although  not  considered  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of 
financial  position,  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  and  changes 
in  fund  balances,  are  presented  primarily  for  supplemental  analysis  pur- 
poses. This  additional  information  has  been  subjected  to  the  audit  proce- 
dures applied  in  the  examination  of  the  basic  financial  statements  and,  in 
our  opinion,  is  fairly  stated  in  all  material  respects  in  relation  to  the  basic 
financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.

NOTES  TO  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS 

A.  Significant  Accounting  Policies: 

1.  In  order  to  ensure  observance  of  limitations  and  restrictions 
placed  on  the  use  of  the  resources  available  to  the  School, 
the  accounts  of  the  School  are  maintained  in  accordance 
with  the  principles  of  "fund  accounting."  This  is  the  proce- 
dure by  which  resources  for  various  purposes  are  classified 
into  funds  in  accordance  with  activities  or  objectives 
specified. 

The  condensed  statement  of  current  funds  expenditures  and 
resources  used  to  meet  expenditures  is  a  statement  of  finan- 
cial activities  of  current  funds  related  to  the  current  report- 
ing periods.  It  does  not  purport  to  present  the  results  of 
operations  or  the  net  income  or  loss  for  the  period  as  would 
a  statement  of  income  or  a  statement  of  revenues  and 
expenses. 

2.  Investments  are  reported  at  their  fair  market  value.  These 
assets,  except  for  special  investments  of  restricted  endow- 
ments, are  pooled  for  investment  purposes.  Income  earned 
on  pooled  investments  is  allocated  to  the  participating 
funds  by  the  unit  share  method  (based  on  market  values). 

3.  Plant  fund  assets  are  generally  recorded  at  cost.  Major 
additions  to  plant  fund  assets  are  capitalized.  A  provision 
of  $144,000  has  been  charged  to  the  current  funds  and 
accumulated  in  the  reserve  for  maintenance  and  replace- 
ments fund.  Significant  maintenance  costs  are  applied 
against  this  reserve. 

4.  Depreciation  expense  relating  to  the  building  improve- 
ments, machinery  and  equipment  of  The  Howe  Press  is 
computed  on  the  straight-line  basis  using  the  following 
useful  lives: 

Automobiles  5  years 

Machinery  and  equipment  10  years 

Building  improvements  40  years 

5.  Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  cost  (first-in,  first-out 
method)  or  market. 

B.  Federal  Grants: 


The  School  acts  as  the  Coordinator  for  the  New  England 
Regional  Center  for  Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Children.  As 
such,  it  receives  funds  from  federal  grants  to  support  pro- 
grams carried  out  by  Perkins  School  as  well  as  by  other 
participating  agencies.  Grant  revenue  includes  all  funds  for 
the  Regional  Center;  grants  disbursed  include  funds  remit- 
ted to  outside  participating  agencies.

D.    Pension: 

Under  a  group  annuity  contract  administered  by  the  Equitable 
Life  Assurance  Society  of  the  United  States,  the  School  makes 
annual  contributions  toward  the  purchase  of  annuities  for  its 
employees  in  the  amount  accrued  for  pension  expense.  The 
accumulated  plan  benefits  and  plan  net  assets  as  of  September  1, 
1980  are  as  follows: 

Actuarial  present  value  of  accumulated 
plan  benefits: 
Vested  $2,990,915 

Nonvested  240,381 

$3,231,296 
Net  assets  available  for  benefits  $4,125,601 

The  weighted  average  assumed  rate  of  return  used  in  determining 
the  actuarial  present  value  of  accumulated  plan  benefits  was  7%. 
A  change  in  the  actuarial  assumptions  used  in  computing  pension 
cost  had  the  effect  of  reducing  pension  cost  by  approximately 
$49,000  in  1982.  Total  cost  of  the  contract  and  supplemental  pay- 
ments charged  to  expenditures  amounted  to  $236,519  in  1982  and 
$299,112  in  1981,  which  includes  amortization  of  past  service  costs 
over  36  years.

THE  PERKINS  ENDOWMENT 

The  Perkins  Program  as  it  has  developed  and  been  maintained 
for  more  than  one  hunred  and  fifty  years  has  relied  upon  a  growing 
endowment  at  every  step  along  the  way. 

It  has  been  of  particular  value  in  times  of  economic  uncertainty 
like  the  present  when  public  agencies  are  forced  to  economize  and 
look  to  private  agencies  to  carry  a  maximum  share  of  the  cost  of 
their  services. 

The  needs  of  the  handicapped  take  no  note  of  these  fluctuations 
in  the  economy,  or  changes  in  social  attitudes.  Consequently  they 
must  be  met,  year  in  and  year  out,  regardless  of  cost. 

All  the  facilities  we  possess  have  grown  from  small  beginnings. 
Our  activity  is  full  of  "firsts" — first  success  with  deaf-blind;  first 
blind  graduate  to  college;  first  kindergarten;  first  teacher  training 
courses,  both  for  teachers  of  the  blind  and  teachers  of  the  deaf- 
blind;  first  in  physical  therapy  and  speech  correction;  and  first  in 
parent  counseling  for  blind  boys  and  girls.  And  we  continue  to 
grow  with  the  development  and  expansion  of  reality  based 
programs  to  meet  the  needs  of  our  multi-impaired  students  and 
young  adults. 

One  asset  has  made  innovative  programming  possible.  This  is 
our  endowment. 

Every  new  departure  in  education  requires  money  that  has  not 
been  assigned  to  other  purposes.  Usually  it  is  a  small  sum  to  get  a 
new  plan  into  operation.  As  we  look  back  over  our  records  we  can 
see  how  little  it  took  Dr.  Howe  to  teach  Laura  Bridgman.  The  first 
of  our  kindergarten  cottages  in  Jamaica  Plain  cost  Michael 
Anagnos  a  relatively  small  sum.  Dr.  Allen  began  to  train  teachers 
at  virtually  no  cost  to  the  school  at  all. 

So  it  has  been  with  each  forward  step.  On  each  occasion  the 
extra-budgetary  funds  were  available.  No  appropriations  committee 
had  to  be  persuaded  that  what  was  considered  good  enough  for 
their  generation  was  not  good  enough  for  the  next.  Our  trustees, 
who  since  our  founding  have  invariably  welcomed  the  next  step 
forward,  put  things  into  motion  each  time. 

None  of  these  programs  has  remained  small.  Our  psychological 
services  have  expanded  many  times  as  have  other  areas  such  as 
industrial  education,  orientation  and  mobility,  career  education,  the 
Adult  Services  and  Deaf-Blind  Programs. 

Endowments  which  are  adequate  to  put  a  program  into  effect  are 
rarely  sufficient  to  keep  it  going.  As  with  every  private  school  and 
college  that  is  keeping  abreast — or  ahead — of  the  times,  Perkins 
needs  to  see  its  endowment  grow.  Through  bequests  and  donations, 
and  through  a  few  government  grants,  we  have  been  able  to 
expand  existing  services  and  add  new  ones  as  needed.  We  are  con- 
fident that  our  friends  will  continue  to  support  us  in  ever  increasing 
amounts.

THE  PERKINS  ENDOWMENT 

The  Perkins  Program  as  it  has  developed  and  been  main- 
tained for  more  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  years  has  relied 
upon  a  growing  endowment  at  every  step  along  the  way. 

Endowments  which  are  adequate  to  put  a  program  into

"he  right  to  do  what  one 
hooses  with  one's  life  . . . 
he  ability  to  go  out  and  be 
/hat  one  wants  to  be  . . . 


Many  of  us  take  these  freedoms 
r  granted.  But,  to  a  person  with  a 
indicap,  attaining  these  freedoms 
perhaps  the  greatest  of  all  per- 
mal  triumphs. 

For  the  last  154  years,  Perkins's 
>al  has  been  to  help  our  students 
id  clients  to  gain  control  and  mas- 
iy  over  their  own  lives.  To  that 
Id,  our  emphasis  is  on  what  each 
dividual  can  do,  not  on  what  he  or 
e  cannot  do.  Each  is  encouraged 
[develop  even  the  smallest  bit  of 
itential  to  challenge  the  obstacles 
jsented  by  his  or  her  impairment. 


Thus,  emotionally,  socially,  physi- 
cally, vocationally,  and  avocationally 
—  we  prepare  our  students  and 
clients  to  meet  everyday  life  to  the 
best  of  their  abilities. 

This  philosophy  has  guided  us  for 
more  than  fifteen  decades.  It  was 
the  ideal  that  was  the  foundation  of 
the  brilliant  life  of  one  of  our  most 
illustrious  students,  Helen  Keller.  It 
is  a  philosophy  which  is  encour- 
aged by  all  teachers  at  Perkins: 
whether  they  are  teaching  a  con- 
genially blind  preschooler  to  run 
and  play,  or  helping  an  adult  deal 
with  sight  loss  after  a  sighted 
lifetime. 

We  strongly  believe  that,  with 
concern,  caring,  and  encourage- 
ment, our  blind,  deaf-blind,  and 
multi-impaired  children,  teenagers, 
and  adults  can  attain  that  which  is 
their  inalienable  right:  the  right  to  an 
independent  life.  .  .  and  to  be  what 
they  want  to  be. 


A  Message 

from  the  President 

It  is  not  by  coincidence  that  the 
number  of  trustees  equals  the 
number  of  months  in  a  year.  Since 
the  early  days  of  the  school,  the 
trustees  have  been  expected  to  visit 
the  school  to  insure  themselves,  the 
Commonwealth,  and  the  public  that 
the  school  is  being  run  in  a  manner 
consistent  with  the  school's  Charter. 

In  years  past,  each  trustee  was 
assigned  a  specific  month  during 
which  he  or  she  was  expected  to 
visit  the  school.  More  recently,  this 
formalism  has  been  done  away 
with;  yet,  attentiveness  to  the 
school's  activities  and  operations  is 
still  the  responsibility  of  Perkins's 
trustees. 

I  would  doubt  that  many  months 
have  ever  passed  without  a  visit  by 
one  or  more  of  the  trustees.  Sim- 
ilarly, the  number  of  trustee  com- 
mittees enables  the  Board  to  partici- 
pate actively  in  the  decision-making 
processes  which  have  guided  the 
school  for  over  one  hundred  and 
fifty  years.  The  full  Board  of  Trus- 
tees meets  quarterly.  The  Executive 
Committee  meets  six  times  a  year. 
In  addition,  the  Benefit  Plans, 
Budget,  Building,  Development, 
Finance,  and  Program  Committees 
meet  with  enough  regularity  to 
assure  that  all  major  components  of 
the  school's  operation  are  reviewed. 

The  present  Board  includes 
businesspersons,  philanthropists, 
lawyers,  doctors,  educators,  and 
alumni.  This  composition  allows 
persons  of  diverse  backgrounds 
and  expertise  to  share  their 
thoughts  on  what  is  best  for  the 
school,  both  for  the  present  and  in 
the  future. 


C.  Richard  Carlson 

In  this  Annual  Report,  you  will 
find  information  about  the  pro- 
grams which  make  up  the  Perkins 
School  for  the  Blind.  These  units 
function  on  a  supportive  relation- 
ship. The  administration,  educators 
instructional  support  staff,  clini- 
cians, maintenance  and  service 
staff,  along  with  the  trustees,  work 
in  close  cooperation  so  that  the 
best  possible  education  is  provided 
to  those  whom  the  school  serves, 
whether  on  a  day  or  residential 
basis,  or  through  the  school's  man\ 
adjunct  services. 


\  Message 
rom  the  Director 

\\  Perkins,  our  programming  is 
)ften  innovative.  This  may  mean 
hat  new  programs  are  created  or 
hat  old  ones  are  restructured.  In 
he  past  year,  we  have  made  several 
iignificant  changes,  expanding 
ome  programs  to  meet  new  needs 
ind  consolidating  others  so  as  to 
>etter  serve  our  students  and 
clients. 

This  marks  the  first  year  of  our 
ntensive  efforts  to  serve  the 
;everely  impaired.  The  new  pro- 
)ram  is  cottage-based;  teaching 
akes  place  in  the  cottage  resi- 
iences  so  that  students  may  learn 
iaily  living  and  other  skills  in  a 
amiliar  and  supportive 
environment. 

Some  services  were  consolidated 
his  year,  resulting  in  stronger  pro- 
grams and  more  effective  manage- 
nent.  The  Infant/Toddler  and  Pre- 
ichool  Programs  have  been 
:ombined  into  a  single  program, 
3reschool  Services.  The  Junior/ 
>enior  High  and  Special  Programs 
[lave  been  joined  to  form 
Secondary  Services. 

We  continue  to  adapt  our  facili- 
ies  to  meet  the  changing  needs  of 
he  population  we  serve.  This  has 
Resulted  in  structural  changes  to 
tame  buildings.  We  have  com- 
pleted an  access  project  in  the 
Howe  Building  to  make  the  physi- 
cal education  facilities,  instruc- 
ional  materials  center,  and  indus- 
rial  education  shops  accessible 
hrough  an  attractive  atrium  and  via 
in  elevator.  Also,  we  have  con- 
erted  additional  lavatory  facilities 
o  accommodate  orthopedically 
^paired  persons. 


Charles  C  Woodcock 

In  another  effort,  we  have  evalu- 
ated the  condition  of  all  Perkins- 
owned  buildings  in  order  to  deter- 
mine how  best  to  preserve  them  for 
service  in  future  years.  These  reha- 
bilitation studies  are  still  in 
progress. 

Perkins  remains  committed  to 
recognizing  and  responding  to  the 
needs  of  its  students  and  clients. 
When  assessing  our  facilities  and 
programming,  we  realize  that  the 
requirements  of  our  population 
must  determine  our  strategies.  With 
this  guideline,  all  departments 
cooperate  in  providing  services  to 
those  with  whose  care  we  have 
been  trusted. 


I  trust  parents. 


Alex  Truesdell,  B.S. 
Teacher, 
Preschool  Services 


M.Ed. 


"While  working  with  families  of 
visually  and  multi-impaired  infants 
and  toddlers,"  says  Alex,  "I  have 
experienced  some  of  the  saddest 
and  some  of  the  most  exhilirating 
moments  in  my  life.  My  rela- 
ionship  with  families  has 
been  as  a  member  of  a 
team  of  professionals, 
each  sharing  a  particular 
and  invaluable  area  of 
expertise. 

"I  include  the  parents  as 
one  of  those  groups  of 
'professionals.'  Parents 
provide  the  key  informa- 
tion about  their  daily  on- 
going experiences  and 
observations.  .  .  which  are 
vital  to  program  accuracy  anc 
effectiveness.  Each  parent," 
says  Alex,  "can  create,  illu- 
minate, elaborate,  and  reir 
force  teaching  ideas 
generated  through  ex- 
changes with  other 
l  team  members."

her  relationships. 

ly  goal,"  she  explains,  "is  to 
)ime  an  unnecessary  compo- 
to  the  parent-child  dynamic.  I 
lly  enter  into  the  family  rela- 
;hip  as  a  'teacher'  of  young 
Iren  with  visual  impairments, 
iuse  'teacher'  connotes  author- 
nough,  my  first  objective  is  to 
hasize  our  shared  authority  . .  . 
?by  facilitating  a  learning  pro- 
through  mutual  respect. 

ly  aim  is  to  move,  eventually, 
being  perceived  as  a  teacher 
is  a  friend  to  being  seen  as  a 
d  who  happens  to  be  a  teacher, 
growth  is  possible  only  when  a 
ly  possesses  the  basic  ingre- 
ts  of  love,  mental  health,  moti- 
on, and  sensitivity  that  are 
tssary  to  meet  the  challenges 
face. 

here  is  nothing  secret  about  my 
c.  Families  are  welcome  to  share 
naterials,  my  reports,  my 
urces.  If  I'm  not  sure  that  some- 
)  will  work  but  I  think  it's  worth 
g,  I  tell  them.  If  they're  not  sure 
want  to  try  something,  I  trust 
i.  When  parents  want  more 
mation  about  developmental 
esses  in  special  situations,  I 
)ly  it  in  the.  manner  they  prefer 
liscussion,  curricula,  books, 
azines,  research  articles,  and 
Irth. 


"My  being  with  families  in  these 
early  two  years  is  crucial.  Because 
this  is  the  time  when  families  are 
most  vulnerable  to  the  perceptions 
of  outsiders.  Families  who  are  rally- 
ing from  the  enormous  shock  of 
finding  themselves  with  a  disabled 
infant  may  be  inclined  toward  pro- 
fessional dependency  —  which,  I 
feel,  can  have  long-term  negative 
consequences. 

"I  work  to  reinforce  parents'  con- 
tinued competence  in  parenting  and 
guiding  their  special  needs  child, 
thereby  fostering  a  healthy  profes- 
sional interdependence. 

"I  trust  parents." 


Preschool  Services 
at  Perkins 


a 


Perkins'  Preschool  Services  enable  blind, 
visually  impaired,  and  multi-impaired 
infants,  toddlers,  and  preschoolers  (ages 
birth  through  five)  to  get  a  "head  start"  in 
achieving  their  fullest  potential.  The  pro- 
gram has  three  objectives:  (1)  To  assess 
each  child's  individual  needs  and  then 
develop  and  implement  an  individualized 
program  of  education  for  every  child;  (2)  To 
work  with  the  parents  of  each  child  so  that 
learning  situations  that  occur  at  Perkins  are 
reinforced  by  the  parents  at  home;  (3)  To 
work  closely  with  Perkins's  clinical  special- 
ists —  psychologists,  speech  and  language 
therapists,  occupational  therapists,  physical 
therapists,  social  workers,  and  audiologists 
—  so  that  each  child  gets  the  very  special 
help  he  or  she  might  need. 


I  was  afraid  to  come  here, 
because  I  was  afraid  I'd  feel 
sorry  for  the  students. 


Dottie  Parsekian 
Secretary, 
Secondary  Services 


Four  years  ago,  Dottie  learned 
from  a  friend  that  a  secretarial  posi- 
tion was  available  at  the  nearby 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind. 

"A  good  place  to  work,"  the  friend 
insisted. 

"That's  what  I've  heard,"  said  Dot- 
tie.  "But  I  know  nothing  about  what 
it's  like  to  be  blind,"  she  protested. 

"So  what?"  the  friend  asked.  "Kids 
are  kids,  aren't  they?" 

"My  friend  turned  out  to  be  right," 
remembers  Dottie.  "It  didn't  take  me 
long  to  realize  that  the  students  here 
at  Perkins  are  a  lot  like  my  own  two 
children.  As  my  friend  told  me:  Kids 
are  kids." 

Herself  one  of  nine  children  and 
now  a  grandmother  three  times,     -   , 
Dottie  insists  that  it's  the  people- 
side  of  her  job  that  she  enjoys 
most.  Indeed,  'secretary'  is 
really  an  incorrect  descrip- 
tion of  her  role  at  Perkins. 
She's  more  like 


an  air  traffic  controller,  keeping 
Secondary  Services  students  anc 
staff  —  some  one  hundred  and  s 
different  people  —  on  their  prop< 
flight  paths  every  school  day. 

"It's  happy  and  a  little  bit  crazy 
around  here,"  she  admits.  "Not  y 
regular  stiff  office.  It's  a  place  the 


'people  like  to  visit,  which  is  impor- 
tant. Because  the  kids  here  have  got 
to  feel  that  this  is  the  place  they  can 
come  to  anytime  for  help." 

Dottie's  phone  rings  constantly. 
She  has  mountains  of  paperwork  to 
process.  There  are  usually  three  or 
more  students  and  staff  in  need  of 
simultaneous  attention. 

"No  doubt,  it's  hectic,"  she  says. 
"But  I  enjoy  the  people-to-people 
contact,  especially  with  the  kids. 
You've  got  to  be  able  to  give  a  little 
something  extra  to  them." 

She  does.  Her  office  walls  are  tes- 
timony. Covered  with  student-made 
posters  and  letters,  they  manifest 
the  deep  appreciation  the  students 
have  for  someone  who  is  always 
there  with  a  smile,  a  hug,  and  twoj 
helping  hands. 

"Working  With  our  staff 
is  a  pleasure,"  she  says. 
"They're  helpful  and  appre- 
ciative. Their  sense  of 
humor  makes  my  job  uni- 
que. And  I  enjoy  my  job 
because  of  them. . . 

"But  I  think  the  students 
appreciate  me  too.  Even 
though  I'm  not  in  the  class- 
room with  them,  I  still  have 
opportunities  to  make  a  dif- 
ference in  their  lives. 

"And  that's  why  I  love  my 
job." 


Secondary  Services 
at  Perkins 


d 


Secondary  Services  at  Perkins  serves 
blind,  visually  impaired,  and  multi-impaired 
adolescents  between  the  ages  of  thirteen 
and  twenty-two.  A  fully  accredited  four-year 
program  leading  to  a  high  school  diploma 
is  available,  as  well  as  a  nongraded  option 
leading  to  a  "Certificate  of  Accomplish- 
ment." Each  student's  course  schedule  is 
carefully  individualized.  Optional  enrollment 
is  available  in  courses  at  nearby  public  high 
schools.  Support  from  Perkins's  clinical 
specialists  and  on-campus  remedial  tutors 
is  also  available.  Although  a  focus  in 
Secondary  Services  is  certainly  on  intellec- 
tual growth,  the  program  is  also  concerned 
with  the  aggregate  social  development  of 
our  students  —  and  thus  attempts  to  deal 
with  factors  contributing  to  their  develop- 
ment in  all  areas. 


I'm  made  to  feel  like  a 
friend  and  a  fellow 
professional . . .  It's  the 
perfect  situation  for 
a  volunteer. 


Car  I  a  Lynton 
Volunteer, 
Deaf-Blind  Program 


Carla  has  been  giving  up  to 
twenty  hours  a  week  of  her  time  to 
Perkins  for  the  last  decade. 

"I  started  in  1974,"  she  recalls. 
"My  family  and  I  had  just  moved 
here  to  Boston  from  Princeton,  New 
Jersey.  Somebody  asked  me  what  I 
would  do  now  that  I'd  been  trans- 
planted from  my  home.  I  said  I 
wasn't  quite  sure.  She  recom- 
mended I  get  in  touch  with  the 
Supervisor  of  Volunteer  Services  at 
Perkins.  Well,  once  I  had  unpacked 
the  boxes  and  stopped  crying,  that's 
exactly  what  I  did." 

She  began  by  reading  books  and 
correcting  homework  papers  for  the 
high  school  Spanish  and  social  stu- 
dies teachers.  Within  a  year,  though, 
she  became  interested  in  sign  lan- 
guage and  started  taking  courses  at 
Perkins.  Her  proficiency  led  her  to  a 


volunteer  position  in  one  of  the  Per 
kins  residential  cottages,  where  she 
could  use  her  newly  acquired  sign 
language  on  a  regular  basis.  Her 
interest  in  deaf  and  blind  children 
has  led  ultimately  to  a  permanent 
volunteer  assignment  "  >^ 

with  the  Perkins 
Deaf-Blind 
Program.  ^\

;nt  with  Preschool  Services  and 
infants  and  toddlers.  Occasion- 
Carla  even  works  an  extra  day 
a  substitute  teacher  when  the 
;d  arises. 

I  do  it  because  I  love  to  do  it," 
insists.  "I'm  in  a  fortunate  posi-

Idoing  is  necessary.  The  Perkins

I.  But  I  also  have  been  able  to" 
blop  meaningful  relationships 
I  my  students.  So  I'm  not  only 
lie  to  feel  like  a  fellow  profes- 
jal,  but  like  a  friend  as  well.

orking  with  children  isn't  a  new 
(hence  for  Carla.  She's  raised 

/  of  her  own.  They  were  in  high

between  her  family  commitments 
and  volunteering  at  Perkins.  In  fact, 
her  family  has  always  been  suppor- 
tive of  her  volunteer  efforts. 

"It's  acquaintances  and 
strangers,"  she  says,  "who  are 
sometimes  incredulous  about  the 
fact  that  someone  would  put  in 
twenty  hours  a  week  some  place  for 
ten  years  and  not  expect  to  be  paid 
for  it.  What  I  generally  tell  them  is 
that  I'm  like  an  extra  pair  of  hands  in 
a  classroom  situation.  I  then  try  to 
explain  that  it's  wonderful  for  me:  I 
get  at  least  as  much  as  I  give.  It 
doesn't  feel  like  a  'do  good' 
situation. 

"I  need  a  focus.  And  the  kind  of 
relationship  I  can  develop  with  our 
students  is  meaningful,  because  it's 
on  a  regular  basis.  They  have 
become  part  of  me." 


Deaf-Blind  Program 
at  Perkins 

The  programmatic  philosophy  in  the  Per- 
kins Deaf-Blind  Program  includes  a  three- 
fold emphasis  on  academic  instruction, 
vocational  training,  and  daily  living  skills 
development.  Thus,  while  one  focus  of  the 
program  is  upon  the  students'  intellectual 
growth,  the  program  is  also  concerned  with 
their  total  social  development  and,  when- 
ever possible,  attempts  to  deal  with  all  of 
the  factors  contributing  to  their  growth  in 
this  area.  The  program  helps  deaf  and  blind 
students  to  become  more  active,  more 
independent,  and  more  expressive  of 
themselves. 


It's  not  just  a  school. . .  This 
is  their  home.  And  we  need 
to  be  like  a  family  to  them. 


Kathy  Collins,  B.S. 
Child  Care  Worker, 
Program  for  the  Severely  Impaired 


Kathy  Collins  works  with  students 
who  are  severely  and  multiply 
impaired. 

"People  will  ask  me,"  she  says, 
'"How  can  you  do  it?  How  can  you 
work  with  children  who  have  so 
many  problems?'  They  think  of  our 
kids  as  unreachable.  So  it's  a  hard 
thing  to  explain  to  them  that  I  can 
get  a  great  deal  of  pleasure  out  of 
what  I  do.  Our  kids  aren't  really 
much  different  from  so-called  nor- 
mal kids.  Sometimes  they're  silly  . . . 
Sometimes  they're  bad.  .  .  Some- 
times they're  lovable.  There's  so 
much  there  that's  'normal.'  But  that's 
all  hard  to  see  when  you're  on  the 
outside  looking  in." 

A  graduate  of  Boston's  Wheelock 
College,  Kathy  has  a  Bachelor  of 
Science  degree  in  Education. 
Before  coming  to  Perkins  she  did 
an  internship  at  a  nearby  hospital. 

"That's  where  I  got  interested  in 
working  with  special  needs  kids," 
she  recalls.  "I  had  taught  in  regular 
first  and  second  grade  classrooms, 
but  there  was  something  missing  for 
me.  What  I'm  doing  now  is  more 
satisfying.  I  feel  really  needed  here 
—  and  that's  where  the  satisfaction 
comes  from. 

"We  make  our  program  a  family- 
like atmosphere  as  well  as  an  edu- 
cational environment.  I  think  I  can 
speak  for  all  our  staff  when  I  say 


that  we  don't  see  Perkins  as  just  a 
school.  It  is  a  home  for  our  stu- 
dents, and  we  need  to  be  like  a  fam- 
ily to  them." 

One  of  the  major  responsibilities 
of  a  Child  Care  Worker  at  Perkins  is 
to  reinforce  the  various  skills  taught 
to  the  students  by  teachers  and  clin- 
ical support  staff. 

"For  example,"  Kathy  explains, 
"our  therapists  will  come  in  and 
evaluate  a  student  to  determine 
what  special  skills  the  student  needs 
to  work  on.  Once  that's  determined, 
a  child  care  worker  will  work  with 
the  student  one-on-one  to  develop 
those  specific  skills.  We're  able  to 
carry  out  the  program  24  hours  a 
day.  With  Scotty,  for  instance,  he 
had  to  learn  to  keep  his  head  up 
and  scoop  properly  while  eating.  It 
was  discouraging  at  first  because 
progress  can  be  so  slow.  But  then, 
when  the  gains  come,  we're  all 
inspired. 

"There's  so  much  about  my  job 
that  I  enjoy.  Particularly,  I  like 
spending  lots  of  time  with  the  stu- 
dents I  care  for.  I'm  with  them  for  a 
major  part  of  the  day.  We  work  on 
music  and  recreation  activities, 
communication  and  socialization 
skills,  activities  of  daily  living,  as  well 
as  community  awareness.  I  put 
them  to  bed.  I  eat  with  them.  I  get 
close  to  them.  .  . 


s  important,  that  I  be  close  to 
tudents.  Each  needs  one  staff 
on  who  really  cares  and 
hes  out  for  him  or  her ...  a 
on-one  relationship.  Education- 
our  children  are  at  different  lev- 
)ut  emotionally,  they  all  have 
ame  need  to  feel  loved. 

le're  not  a  caretaking  institution, 
lelp  our  students  learn  to  take 
of  themselves.  That's  why  I 
ider  Perkins  a  home  —  the 
3  where  children  know  they  will 
he  love,  attention,  and  instruc- 
they  require." 


Program  for  the  Severely  Impaired 
at  Perkins 

Perkins's  newest  program  serves  severely 
and/or  multi-impaired  blind,  deaf-blind, 
visually  impaired,  and  sighted  students  from 
ages  ten  through  twenty-two.  These  stu- 
dents include  those  who  have  severe  cogni- 
tive, motor,  sensory,  and/or  behavioral 
training  needs.  It  is  approved  as  a  forty- 
eight  week  program  by  the  Massachusetts 
Division  of  Special  Education  on  a  day  and 
residential  basis.  The  Program  for  the 
Severely  Impaired  runs  24  hours  a  day,  7 
days  a  week.  A  highly  structured  data  col- 
lection strategy  and  recordkeeping  system 
ensures  that  all  progress  is  noted.  This 
necessitates  teamwork.  There  are  numer- 
ous opportunities  for  teachers,  teacher 
aides,  houseparents,  child  care  workers, 
and  clinical  staff  to  interact  in  order  to 
develop  the  most  beneficial  and  functional 
program  for  each  student ...  So  that  he  or 
she  can  some  day  move  on  to  a  less  inten- 
sive educational  environment. 


I  can  make  a  difference  in  a 
person's  life. . .  Yes,  that's 
rewarding. 


Michael  Orcutt,  B.S. 
Assistant  Residence  Manager, 
Adult  Services 


Michael  has  a  Bachelor  of 
Science  degree  in  Special  Educa- 
tion. He  came  to  Perkins  with 
extensive  experience  working  with 
emotionally  disturbed  and  learning 
disabled  adolescents. 

"One  of  the  strongest  attributes 
anyone  in  my  position  should  have," 
he  insists,  "is  the  ability  to  be  empa- 
thetic  —  open  to  the  feelings  of 
others.  Yet,  there  are  limitations  as 
to  just  how  far  you  can  get  emo- 
tionally involved  with  your  clients 
and,  at  the  same  time,  work  effec- 
tively. Certainly,  you  must  be  able  to 
relate  to  their  feelings  and  identify 
with  their  problems,  but.  .  .  You 
must  also  get  them  on  track  and 
keep  them  there.  And  that  requires 
self-control. 

"While  empathy  is  important,  you 
can't  dwell  on  those  feelings. 
Once  the  problems  have  been  iden- 
tified, it's  time  to  move  on  and  help 
our  clients  to  make  the  most  out  of 
their  lives." 

In  addition  to  the  ability  to  be 
empathetic,  Michael  finds  that  a 
sense  of  humor  is  also  important  for 
someone  in  his  position. 

"Humor  provides  an  effective 
means  of  delivering  a  serious  mes- 
sage in  a  non-threatening  way,"  he 
says. 

Informal  counseling  is  another 
aspect  of  Michael's  work  at  Perkins. 
"Day-to-day  aid  in  problem  solving," 
he  calls  it.  "What  we  normally  do  in 


our  own  private  lives:  the  kind  of 
advice,  caring,  and  active  listening 
we'd  give  to  a  friend. 

"I'm  here  because  I  care.  I  highl 
value  what  our  Program  is  trying  t 
do:  To  help  disabled  persons  com 
pensate  for  their  disabilities,  so  thj 
they  can  lead  lives  as  normal  as 
possible  and,  once  again,  particip; 
in  community  life. 

"The  job  is  both  demanding  an( 
challenging.  Yoli 
have  to  have 
mental 


15 


discipline.  You  remind  yourself  that 
your  job  is  important  —  helping  a 
human  being  help  himself.  We  think 
of  our  clients  as  people  first,  then  as 
'clients,  and  we  treat  them  as  equals. 
That's  how  progress  begins. 

"That  I  can  help  someone  adapt 
to  a  very  difficult  life  circumstance  is 
rewarding.  But  I  think  what  keeps 
me  going  the  most  is  the  spirit  of 
our  clients.  You  see  Harry,  who's 
been  head-injured  for  twenty-five 
years,  you  still  see  the  drive  there. 
They're  not  quitters.  They  keep  try- 
ing. I  learn  from  them,  and  they 
keep  me  going. 

"Some  of  our  clients,"  says 
Michael,  "have  been  dealt  a  pretty 
bad  hand  in  life,  yet  they  just  won't 
give  up.  They're  an 
I  inspiration  to  me, 
and  it's  good  to 
now  they  want 
jvhat  I  have  to 
offer  them."

Anne  Marie  Marano,  M.S.W.,  L.I.C.S.W. 
Social  Worker, 
Clinical  Services 


In  addition  to  holding  a  Master's 
Degree  in  Social  Work  from  Boston 
College's  Graduate  School  of  Social 
Work,  Anne  Marie  is  also  a  Licensed 
Independent  Clinical  Social  Worker 
—  which  is  the  highest  level  of 
social  work  licensing  in  the  state  of 
Massachusetts.  .  .  a  license  which 
would  allow  her  to  practice  privately 
if  she  desired. 

In  her  role  at  Perkins,  Anne  Marie 
serves  as  the  primary  link  between 
the  families  of  her  clients  and  the 
Adult  Services  program  at  Perkins. 
She  counsels  her  clients  and  their 
families  as  needed,  focusing  on 
issues  related  to  her  clients'  disabili- 
ties and  their  rehabilitation  process. 

Anne  Marie  herself  is  legally  blind. 

"I  have  a  visual  disability,"  she 
says.  "So  I'm  'disabled.'  But,  there 
are  many  ways  that  I'm  able  to 
compensate  for  my  lack  of  vision. 
My  professional  training  and  expe- 
rience in  the  field  of  rehabilitation  is 
what  helps  me  to  help  my  clients." 

Helping  her  clients  adjust  to  their 
disability  is  perhaps  Anne  Marie's 
most  important  task. 

"You've  got  to  start  at  the 
client's  level  of  awareness,"  she 
insists.  "The  majority  of  the 
clients  I  serve  are  head- 
injured  —  that  means  that  I 
start  by  helping  them 
realize  that  they  have  a  dis- 
ability which  is  effecting 
their  ability  to  function 


as  they  used  to.  That  may  seem 
elementary,  but  it's  essential  to  the 
adjustment  process.  When  a  person 
is  head-injured,  there's  often  a 
severe  loss  of  memory  and  a  distor- 
tion of  reality  in  terms  of  what  the 
client  can  do  now  as  opposed  to 
what  he  could  do  before  the  injury. 
Helping  clients  bridge  that  gap  is 
where  I  come  in. 


"  ften  the  clients  no  longer 
s  set  themselves.  They  no  longer 
i\  a  positive  self-image.  Through 
>i  iseling,  the  goal  is  to  bring 
e  i  to  the  point  where  they  can 
d  at  themselves  and  truly  believe 
qj  have  value.  Until  that  happens, 
4 /thing  else  in  the  rehabilitation 
ess  is  difficult  to  accomplish. 

takes  time,"  says  Anne  Marie, 
(ii've  got  to  develop  a  trusting 
Uionship  with  your  client.  Unless 
s  happens,  we  can't  go  anywhere. 

's  often  a  lengthy  process.  But, 
time,  you  can  get  results. 

hat  is  why  I  enjoy  working  at 
ins.  It's  important  to  me,  per- 
illy  and  professionally,  to  be 
i  to  see  my  client's  progress  and 
g  his  or  her  family 
;er  together.  I've  helped 
Jies  and  clients  to  cope 
their  realities,  to  put 
jther  a  realistic,  yet  pos- 
,  view  of  the  future. 

t's  rewarding  to  be  a 
:  of  the  rehabilitation 
cess  that  helps  make  a 
itive  difference  in  the 
ility  of  another  human 
ng's  life."

training  is  what's  necessary. 


Cafer  Barkus,  B.A.,  M.Ed. 
Assistant  Coordinator, 
Teacher  Education  Program 


Born  in  Gaziantep,  Turkey,  Cafer 
is  now  a  United  States  citizen.  He 
first  came  to  Perkins  eighteen  years 
ago,  at  age  seventeen,  as  a  scholar- 
ship student.  After  Perkins,  he 
attended  Brandeis  University,  where 
he  earned  a  Bachelor  of  Arts  degree 
in  Philosophy.  After  earning  his  col- 
lege degree,  however,  he  returned 
to  Perkins  as  a  teacher  trainee  in  the 
Teacher  Education  Program,  which 
is  affiliated  with  Boston  College. 

Why  didn't  he  make  use  of  his 
philosophy  degree?  Why  did  he 
decide  to  become  a  teacher  of 
teachers? 

"I  suspect,"  he  says,  "that  I've 
always  wanted  to  teach.  Not  just 
because  there  is  a  need  for 
teachers.  You  see,  so  many  nice 
things  have  happened  to  me  in  my 
life.  I'm  from  a  small  village  in  Tur- 
key where  there  was  no  school  for 
the  blind.  Nor  was  I  allowed  to 
attend  the  village  elementary  school 
because  I  was  blind.  I  never 
expected  to  get  any  education, 
nevermind  a  special  education  in 
the  United  States  —  and  at  such  a 
prestigious  school  as  Perkins. 

"I  wanted  to  help  others  so  that  I 
could  say  Thank  you'  to  all  of  the 
nice  people  who  have  helped  give 
me  a  chance  over  the  years.  . .  To 


help  others  the  way  I've  been 
helped  along  the  way." 

Although  Cafer  can  distinguish 
light  and  dark,  he  has  no  measur- 
able vision.  "I  think  I  was  born  with 
my  condition,"  he  says,  "but  I'm  not 
sure  because  I  was  born  at  home 
and  not  seen  by  a  physician  until  I 
was  a  year  old." 

Since  1972  Cafer  has  been  a 
teacher  at  Perkins  and,  in 
September  of  1981,  he  became 
involved  with  the  Teacher  Education 
Program. 

There  are  many  aspects  to 
Cafer's  position  as  Assistant  Coor- 
dinator in  the  Teacher  Education 
Program.  A  good  deal  of  his  time, 
for  example,  is  spent  teaching  spe- 
cial skills  —  such  as  using  a  brailler 
and  abacus  —  to  overseas  students 
studying  at  Perkins.  Emphasis  in  the 
program  is  given  to  assist  the 
teacher  trainees  in  using  what  they 
learn  at  Perkins  to  meet  the  needs 
of  students  in  their  own  countries. 
And,  too,  he  refers  student  teachers 
from  local  colleges  to  specific  Per- 
kins programs  for  internship  train- 
ing. These  students  from  surround- 
ing colleges  want  hands-on 
experience  as  part  of  their  formal 
college  preparation  for  training  spe- 
cial needs  children.

"I  try  to  emphasize  that,  to  be  a 
ccessful  teacher,  one  must  have 
>mmitment  and  the  proper  train- 
g.  'People  with  problems  under-

le  teacher  believes  that  his  or  her 
jdents  have  the  potential  to 
come  as  successful  as  the 
acher  is  —  if  not  more  so. 

"I  hope  that  I  am  such  a  person."

jen  invented  yet. 

He  was  twenty-three  years  old  at 
e  time. 

I  As  Brailler  Inspector  for  the  Howe

Since  coming  to  Perkins  ninety 
years  ago  from  Northwood,  Midc 
sex,  England,  Ken  has  overseen 
what  is  considered  to  be  the  larg 
collection  of  its  kind  in  the  world 
18,000  volumes  of  material  about 
the  non-medical  aspects  of  blind 
ness  and  deaf-blindness. 

"Graduate  students  intending  1 
go  into  the  education  of  the  blinc 
and  deaf-blind,"  says  Ken,  "need 
study  the  latest  materials  in  an 
accessible  form. 

"I  feel  that  I  have  a  great  respo 
bility:  not  only  to  maintain  this

After  all  these  years,  some- 
thing still  crops  up  that  isn't 
quite  right.  It  gives  me  great 
satisfaction  to  find  it.

Albert  Czub 
Brailler  Inspector, 
Howe  Press 

When  Al  first  came  to  work  for 
the  Howe  Press  at  Perkins,  Herbert 
Hoover  was  President,  Prohibition 
was  in  effect,  and  television  hadn't 
been  invented  yet. 

He  was  twenty-three  years  old  at 
the  time. 

As  Brailler  Inspector  for  the  Howe 
Press,  Al  checks  twenty  different 
brailler  functions  before  the 
machine  is  distributed.  For  example, 
he  checks  to  see  whether  the  keys 
work  freely,  the  paper  rolls  in  pro- 
perly, the  carriage  moves  as  it 
should,  and  the  margin  stops  and 
[the  warning  bell  rings.  He  then 
brailles  a  sheet  of  paper  as  a  final 
test  of  the  product.  If  any  function  is 
not  in  perfect  working  condition,  Al 
returns  it  to  the  assembler  to  correct 
the  faulty  part.  Since  1951,  when  the 
Perkins  Brailler  was  invented,  Al  has 
inspected  more  than  150,000  of 
these  machines. 

Although  he  is  twelve  years 
beyond  the  usual  retirement  age  of 
sixty-five,  Al  has  no  immediate  plans 
to  sever  his  fifty-four-year-long  rela- 
tionship with  Howe  Press. 

"I  dread  the  thought,"  he  admits. 
I  like  what  I  do,  and  I  like  the  peo- 
ple I  work  with.

REPORT  OF  THE  DIRECTOR 
TO  THE  CORPORATION 


A  very  important  question  on 
the  minds  of  many  of  you  prob- 
ably is  what  effect  the  charter 
change  which  you  approved  last 
year  has  had  on  the  programs 
at  Perkins.  The  president 
touched  on  this  briefly  in  his 
reference  to  the  program  for 
traumatically  head  injured.  You 
will  be  pleased  to  know  that  the 
trustees  and  the  administration 
have  kept  their  pledge  and  have 
done  nothing  to  infringe  on  the 
programs  for  blind,  visually 
impaired,  and  deaf-blind  stu- 
dents and  clients.  No  space  has 
been  usurped,  no  funds  rea- 
ligned, and  no  resources  mis- 
used. No  unusual  effort  has 
been  put  forth  to  build  a  popula- 
tion of  non-visually  impaired. 
The  keel  is  even.  The  number  of 
non-visually  impaired  is  less 
than  12%  of  the  enrollment. 

I  hasten  to  add,  however,  that 
the  word  is  out  —  Perkins  is  wil- 
ling to  use  its  resources  to  full 
use,  and  the  feedback  is  mostly 
positive.  The  general  feeling  in 
the  field  is  that  this  was  a  pro- 
gressive act. 

Trying  now  to  speak  to  other 
Perkins  positions,  let  me  discuss 
licensing  and  accreditation.  The 
various  bodies  that  license  and 


accredit  schools  are  always  wel- 
come at  Perkins.  We  are  far 
from  perfect,  but  we  have 
nothing  to  hide,  and  we  want  to 
take  advantage  of  every  oppor- 
tunity to  improve.  The  trustees 
act  quickly  in  all  matters  relat- 
ing to  licensing  and  accredita- 
tion, especially  those  relating  to 
fire  and  safety  and  to  the  health 
and  well-being  of  the  students, 
clients,  and  staff.  Two  examples 
stand  out.  First,  we  were  not 
required  on  June  28,  1983  to 
inform  constituents  of  any 
asbestos  problem  because,  in  the 
spring  of  1983,  the  trustees  had 
directed  that  any  existing  prob- 
lem be  remedied.  All  magne- 
sium pipe  covering  that  con- 
tained asbestos  fibers  was  either 
removed  or  encapsulated. 
Second,  lead  paint  was  removed 
from  cottages  housing  students 
whose  ages  made  this  a 
requirement.  More  ramps  and 
another  elevator  have  been 
added,  more  lavatory  facilities 
have  been  made 
handicap-accessible. 

The  spring  of  1983  found  the 
trustees  and  guests  gathered  to 
dedicate  the  biggest  access  pro- 
ject yet  undertaken  by  the 
School.  This  project  connects  all 


of  the  lower  levels  of  the  Howe 
Building  by  elevator  or  ramp. 
Architecturally  it  is  very  attract- 
ive —  functionally  it  could 
hardly  be  better. 

Through  the  generosity  of  the 
Thomas  Anthony  Pappas  Char- 
itable Foundation,  we  are  now 
constructing  a  horticultural 
teaching  center  on  the  roof  of 
the  old  gymnasium,  insulating 
and  reroofing  the  rest  of  the  roof 
and  creating  areas  for  planter 
boxes  and  raised  beds.  Actually, 
the  entire  roof  of  the  old  gym 
will  be  quite  attractive.  The  roof 
is  covered  with  paving  blocks 
and  so  looks  quite  "patio-like." 
A  large  number  of  students  are 
already  involved  in  the  pro- 
gram, and  we  will  be  serving 
even  more.  Be  sure  to  watch  this 
project. 

Another  area  of  increased 
activity  this  past  year  recog- 
nized a  nationwide  problem  — 
that  of  adequate  and  proper 
housing  for  the  handicapped. 
We  now  offer  a  full  range  of 
training  options  for  students, 
clients,  and  former  participants 
in  Perkins  programs.  We  begin 
with  the  traditional  cottage  set- 
ting, move  to  apartments  within 
cottages,  then  semi-independent 
living  in  Keller-Sullivan,  com- 
munity residences  off-campus 
(but  still  on  the  perimeter  of  the 
campus),  a  three-bedroom 
cooperative-living  home  where 
further  independence  can  be 
achieved,  and  apartments 
within  a  large  complex  with 
only  a  minimal  amount  of  staff 
to  oversee.  A  fund  has  been 
established  to  support  clients 
living  in  community  residences. 
It  is  the  Josephine  Lister  Taylor 
Fund,  established  by  a  new 
member  of  our  corporation. 

In  the  general  area  of  special 
education,  particularly  as  it 


relates  to  the  multi-impaired 
and  the  deaf-blind,  we  are  hear- 
ing the  term  "aging-out."  It  re- 
fers to  those  reaching  the  age  at 
which  they  no  longer  are  eligi- 
ble for  education  funds,  but  who 
still  have  learning  and  housing 
needs.  Some  states  are  chang- 
ing laws  to  allow  for  continued 
programming  to  meet  these 
needs.  We  are  anxious  that  ser- 
vices continue  as  long  as  they 
are  needed.  We  will  be  watching 
this  matter  quite  closely. 

Efforts  along  these  lines  are 
in  keeping  with  the  goals  men- 
tioned to  you  last  year.  I  spoke 
of  our  continued  study  of  areas 
where  new  education  and  train- 
ing might  develop  and  of  new 
programs  that  might  be  appro- 
priate for  Perkins.  This  report 
obviously  covers  some  of  those 
efforts. 

Physical  plant  needs  are  con- 
tinuous. During  this  past  year, 
the  trustees  ordered  a  complete 
study  of  the  physical  plant.  This 
study,  scheduled  to  be  completed 
in  the  early  part  of  the  1983-84 
school  year,  will  more  than 
likely  indicate  that  some  of  our 
buildings  are  in  drastic  shape  — 
nothing  structurally  dangerous, 
perhaps,  but  deterioration  that 
connot  be  neglected.  Repairs 
and  renovations  will  consume 
many  dollars. 

Our  budget  now  exceeds  nine 
million  dollars,  and  our  staff 
count  is  over  500.  Our  tuition 
income  which  is  about  45%  of 
our  budget,  is  equal  to  what  was 
our  total  expenditure  during  the 
1973/74  school  year. 

We  are  a  complex  multi- 
service agency  which  annually 
serves  thousands  of  people.  Our 
student  population  puts  us 
among  the  top  five  schools  for 
the  blind  in  enrollment;  our  var- 
ietv  of  programs  makes  Perkins 


probably  the  school  which 
serves  the  largest  number  of 
clients  and  students  and  the 
school  with  the  widest  range  of 
programs. 

Perhaps  you  will  conclude 
after  reading  the  following 
reports  of  the  various  supervi- 
sors and  program  coordinators 


that  the  complexion  of  Perkins 
continues  to  change.  New  hues 
and  highlights  signify  new  ven- 
tures. They  are  a  part  of  the 
Perkins  story  that  is  revealed  in 
these  writings.  I  choose  to  report 
to  you  through  the  words  of  the 
front-line  supervisors.  Please 
read  on  ... . 


The  school  year  1982-83  was  a 
busy  and  productive  one.  We 
continued  to  analyze  the  serv- 
ices we  offer  to  students  and 
clients,  and  our  attention  to 
long-term  planning  for  these 
individuals  occupied  a  good  deal 
of  supervisors'  time  and  effort. 

Each  Program  at  Perkins  has 
an  interdisciplinary  task  force 
which  meets  regularly  to  plan 
program  services  for  students 
and  clients.  It  is  within  this 
structure  that  administrators, 
clinical  personnel,  teachers,  and 
houseparents  work  together  to 
design  and  improve  services 
within  a  reality-based  curricula. 

Perkins  is  blessed  with  a  well- 
trained,  dedicated,  and  resource- 
ful staff  who  consistently  pro- 
vide quality  services.  I  would 
personally  like  to  thank  the 
supervisory  and  administrative 
staff  for  their  commitment  and 
long  hours  of  work;  the  teachers, 
assistant  teachers,  and  teacher 
aides  who  provide  direct  serv- 
ices on  a  daily  basis;  the  clinical 
staff  who  provide  consultation 
and  direct  services;  the  house- 
parents  and  residence  managers 
who  oversee  the  multiple 
demands  of  a  cottage  program; 
the  child  care  workers  who 
organize  and  follow  through  on 
numerous  on-campus  and  off- 
campus  activities;  and  the 
secretarial  staff  who  interact  so 


personnel  and  a  large  number  of 
people  outside  ofvPerkins,  such 
as  parents,  funding  agents,  and 
licensing  personnel. 

We  continue  to  work  with  the 
Watertown  Housing  Authority 
and  the  Massachusetts  Com- 
mission for  the  Blind  on  the 
development  of  three  off-campus 
houses  as  part  of  our  Commun- 
ity Residence  and  Independent 
Living  Services  Program  for 
multi-impaired  blind  and  deaf- 
blind  students  and  clients.  We 
have  placed  nine  individuals  in 
the  Arsenal  Apartments  on 
Arsenal  Street  in  Watertown, 
and  we  are  serving  three  clients 
in  a  Perkins-owned  house  on 
Pequosette  Street  in  Watertown. 

Another  Perkins-owned  house 
on  Beech  wood  Avenue  in 
Watertown  is  housing  eight 
clients  who  are  all  involved  in  a 
work  or  training  program  Mon- 
day through  Friday. 

We  operate  our  Occupational 
Training  for  the  Blind  Program 
in  conjunction  with  the  Massa- 
chusetts Commission  for  the 
Blind.  It  is  our  goal  to  develop 
relevant  and  creative  vocational 
training  programs  for  blind 
adults  within  Business  and 
Industry.  We  have  also  applied 
for  a  Projects  with  Industry 
Grant  which  will  increase  the 
number  of  vocational  training 
options  for  blind  adults  who  are 


The  Program  for  the  Severely 
Impaired,  which  is  housed  in 
Potter  Cottage,  became  opera- 
tional in  June,  1983,  and  there 
are  presently  seven  students 
being  served  by  a  highly  trained 
and  competent  staff. 

We  operated  summer  sessions 
during  July,  1983  in  the  Pre- 
school, Primary  &  Intermediate, 
Deaf-Blind,  Adult  Services,  and 
Secondary  Services  programs. 
Over  130  students  and  clients 
were  served  during  the  five-week 
period,  some  of  whom  were  stu- 
dents enrolled  in  public  school 
programs  during  the  regular 
school  year. 

We  hope  to  be  able  to  provide 


more  direct  and  indirect  services 
to  public  school  students  during 
the  school  year  1983-84,  as  we 
begin  to  expand  our  "outreach 
service"  possibilities.  Julie 
Solomon  has  been  assigned  to 
work  closely  with  personnel 
from  the  Division  of  Special 
Education,  Itinerant  teachers, 
and  staff  from  other  schools 
and  agencies  in  Massachusetts 
and  other  New  England  States. 

Kevin  J.  Lessard, 

Assistant  Director 


The  Infant/Toddler  Program 
at  Perkins  completed  its  last 
year  of  Federal  funding  during 
the  1982-1983  school  year.  The 
program  presently  has  been 
joined  with  the  Preschool  unit 
into  one  program  entitled  Pre- 
school Services. 

During  the  1982-1983  school 
year,  the  program  provided  ser- 
vices for  twelve  visually 
impaired  children,  ages  birth  to 
three  years,  and  their  families. 
Services  were  provided  by  a 
Supervisor,  two  Home  Teachers, 
one  half-time  Social  Worker, 
and  one  Secretary.  In  addition, 
clinical  services  which  have 
been  provided  to  date  have 
included:  Speech  and  Language 
Therapy,  Psychology,  Physical 
Therapy,  Audiology,  and  Occu- 
pational Therapy.  The  program 
is  supported  by  a  stable  corps  of 
volunteers  who  participate  in 
many  facets  of  the  School  Day 
program. 

Parental  involvement  in  all 
areas  of  programming  is  central 
to  the  success  of  the  Preschool 


ents  seen  as  the  primary 
teachers  of  their  children  and 
therefore  an  integral  part  of  the 
transdisciplinary  team,  an  indi- 
vidual curriculum  is  designed 
for  each  child.  The  reality-based, 
life-learning  curriculum  helps 
the  children  develop  skills 
necessary  to  interact  and  direct 
their  everyday  environments. 
These  include  their  homes, 
neighborhoods,  and  schools. 
The  parents  and  children 
meet  at  Perkins  every  Monday. 
The  children's  program  is  car- 
ried out  in  a  home-like  setting 
consisting  of  an  efficiency 
apartment  and  a  large  play 
area.  After  a  short  period  when 
parents  interact  with  their 
children  for  music,  movement, 
and  fun-oriented  activities,  the 
parents  and  social  worker 
adjourn  for  an  hour-long  meet- 
ing. The  focus  of  the  group 
meeting  is  parent  support  and 
information  exchange.  Once  a 
month,  evening  parent  meetings 
of  an  in-service  training  nature 
are  also  held. 


The  Preschool  Program 
initiated  in  September,  1979 
continued  to  serve  young  visu- 
ally impaired  children  and  their 
families  during  the  1982-1983 
school  year.  Four  children 
between  the  ages  of  three  and 
seven  attended  the  daily  school 
program.  Provision  for  individ- 
ual needs  in  all  areas  of  devel- 
opment was  facilitated  by  a 
highly  favorable  staff-student 
ratio.  In  addition,  Perkins'  Clin- 
ical Services  provided  the  sup- 
port of  a  social  worker,  psychol- 
ogist, occupational  therapist, 
speech  and  language  therapist, 
physical  therapist,  and 
audiologist. 

Direct  Services  to  parents 
included  coordinating  instruc- 
tion between  school  and  home. 
Monthly  home  teaching  visits 
brought  pertinent  information 
about  appropriate  activities  and 
materials  for  parents  to  pursue 
with  their  children.  Parents 
were  encouraged  to  visit  the 
Preschool  monthly  to  observe 
their  children  at  school  and 
consult  with  members  of  the 
professional  team  working  with 
their  children.  Parent  meetings 


were  also  held  on  a  regular 
basis  at  the  Preschool  House. 

Five  children  participated  in  a 
five-week  summer  program 
which  offered  a  variety  of  out- 
door community  experiences 
and  provided  continued  instruc- 
tion based  on  individual  goals 
and  objectives. 

Interdisciplinary  team  eval- 
uations were  provided  for  ten 
preschool-aged  children  through 
the  Clinical  Service's  Depart- 
ment. During  three  of  these  eval- 
uations, the  children  partici- 
pated in  the  Preschool  Program 
for  a  diagnostic  period  of  three 
to  eight  weeks.  Two  functional 
vision  evaluations  were  also 
done  on  an  outreach  basis,  and 
one  child  is  still  seen  regularly 
for  an  outreach  consultation. 

The  new  Preschool  Services 
Program  is  looking  ahead  to  an 
exciting  school  year  in  1983- 
1984,  and  exploring  new  ways 
to  meet  the  diverse  needs  of 
students  from  birth  to  six  years 
of  age. 

Tom  Miller, 

Program  Supervisor 


The  Primary  &  Intermediate 
Program  served  42  students  dur- 
ing 1982-83. 

At  present  there  are  ten 
classes,  with  a  teacher  and 
either  a  part-time  or  full-time 
aide  in  each  one.  Two  Diagnos- 
tic Classrooms  continue  to  pro- 
vide an  intensive  program  of 
language,  daily  living  skills  and 
motor  development  to  the 
youngest,  multiply  impaired 
children. 

In  the  past  year  there  was  a 
strong  effort  by  several  teachers 


dents.  The  former  woodworking 
shop  has  been  converted  into  an 
extensive  "pre-voc"  shop  where 
students  will  be  able  to  develop 
hand  and  work  skills  that  will 
be  of  great  value  in  the  future.  It 
is  expected  that  during  the  1983- 
1984  school  year  this  area  will 
begin  full  operation. 

It  is  anticipated  that  the 
former  library,  which  is  located 
between  the  Gym  and  Assembly 
Hall,  will  be  converted  into  an 
instructional  kitchen.  When 
completed  it  will  provide  a  con- 


domestic  skills  which  may  make 
possible  independence  in  the 
future. 

Two  other  changes  will  be  the 
addition  of  a  typing  room  and 
the  beginning  of  the  develop- 
ment of  a  computer  curriculum 
modified  for  our  population. 

A  strong  special-subject  cur- 
riculum has  been  maintained, 
with  such  subjects  as  commun- 
ity experience,  environmental 
awareness,  recreation,  swim- 
ming, developmental  music, 
associated  arts  (crafts  and 
music  recreation),  piano  ensem- 
ble, sensory  motor  integration 
and  typing  being  offered  in 
addition  to  a  regular  program  of 
academic  subjects.  All  special 
subject  teachers  have  been 
advocates  of  outreach  efforts 
which,  in  addition  to  field  trips, 
have  brought  students  to  many 
other  opportunities  off  campus. 

The  Clinical  Services  staff 
has  continued  to  provide  steady 
support  and  innovative  leader- 
ship in  clinical  areas.  Counsel- 
ing support  groups  for  teens, 
older  girls,  young  children 
(playskills)  and  in  social  skills 
development  are  all  available 
under  the  direction  of  our  social 
worker  and  psychologist.  Lan- 
guage and  speech  are  key  needs 
for  most  of  the  students,  and 
they  remain  two  of  our  strong- 
est and  most  emphasized  clini- 
cal subjects.  Physical  and  occu- 
pational therapy  both 
emphasize  sensori-motor  devel- 
opment and  are  carefully  inte- 
grated throughout  each  stu- 
dent's day.  The  education 
consultant  has  provided  invalu- 


able assistance  to  the  staff  in 
developing  educational 
programming. 

The  program  task  force  con- 
tinued during  the  year  to  sug- 
gest and  develop  changes  that 
would  keep  the  program  abreast 
of  the  latest  developments,  in 
special  education,  while  looking 
at  the  needs  of  the  students  in 
the  future. 

The  parents  group,  through 
the  efforts  of  many,  is  selling  a 
very  successful  cookbook  pro- 
duced by  its  members.  The  pro- 
ceeds will  be  used  to  benefit  the 
students.  Special  events,  discus- 
sions and  guest  lectures  high- 
lighted the  year  for  the  group. 

A  committee  of  houseparents 
and  teachers,  with  the  staff  psy- 
chologist, is  preparing  a  packet 
of  program  rules  and  behavioral 
procedures  to  ensure  the  great- 
est consistency  of  approach 
possible. 

As  always,  the  special  efforts 
of  the  residential  staff  have 
been  a  mainstay  of  the  pro- 
gram's success.  The  cottage 
staff  have  implemented  many 
plans  for  the  students  during 
non-school  hours.  Their  untiring 
efforts  have  been  essential  to 
the  success  of  the  program. 

As  in  the  past,  the  Primary 
and  Intermediate  Program  staff 
and  parents  remain  dedicated  to 
the  goal  of  success  and  ultimate 
independence  for  each  of  the 
students.  We  will  continue  this 
effort  in  the  coming  school  year.

During  the  1982-83  school 
year,  the  combined  populations 
of  the  Secondary  Services  Pro- 
gram varied  from  69  to  73.  In 
June,  1983  eight  Junior/Senior 
High  Students  and  five  Special 
Programs  students  received 
diplomas  in  June  graduation 
exercises. 

Although  a  significant  decline 
in  the  Secondary  population  for 
1983-84  had  been  anticipated, 
new  students  and  transfer  stu- 
dents from  the  Primary  and 
Intermediate  programs  stabil- 
ized the  Secondary  enrollment. 
Sixty-eight  to  seventy-four  stu- 
dents were  projected  for  1983-84. 
During  1982-83  two  students 
without  visual  handicaps  were 
enrolled  in  the  Secondary  Servi- 
ces Program,  and  three  sighted, 
multi-impaired  students  are' 
enrolled  for  1983-84. 

After  approximately  three 
years  of  planning  by  supervi- 
sors, program,  and  clinical  staff, 
Junior/Senior  High  and  Special 
Programs  officially  merged  into 
one  program,  Secondary  Servi- 
ces, in  August  of  1983.  Second- 
ary Services  began  under  the 
supervision  of  Cynthia  Essex. 
Julie  Solomon  has  accepted  the 
position  of  Supervisor  of  Out- 
reach Services,  the  Coordinator 
of  Occupational  Training  for  the 
Blind. 

Two  physical  moves  were 
planned  for  September,  1983  to 
facilitate  Secondary  consolida- 
tion: Moulton  students  moved  to 
the  West  Close  and  were  inte- 
grated into  Keller-Sullivan  and 
Fisher  Cottages,  and  Oliver  Cot- 
tage was  occupied  by  Secondary 
students,  who  replaced  Deaf/ 
Blind  students.  Secondary  Ser- 
vices continued  to  offer  an 
ungraded  program  to  students 
of  junior  high  school  age.  Both 


school  age.  The  graded  high 
school  program  leads  to  the 
Perkins  Diploma.  Services  in 
academic,  prevocational,  inde- 
pendent living,  social,  and 
recreational  areas  were  main- 
tained or  expanded,  and  place- 
ments in  local  high  schools  or 
work  placements  were  preferred, 
as  they  have  been  in  the  past. 

Watertown  High  School  con- 
tinued to  play  an  important  part 
in  the  academic  program.  Dur- 
ing the  1982-83  school  year,  ten 
students  participated  in  Water- 
town  classes,  taking  subjects 
such  as  Fortran,  French,  and 
Zoology.  Some  students  take 
Watertown  classes  to  expand 
their  knowledge  and  to  meet 
and  compete  with  sighted  peers. 
Some  students  are  preparing  to 
return  to  their  home  high 
schools  full-time.  This  kind  of 
supported  integration  has 
proved  helpful  when  students 
are  making  transitions  from  the 
Perkins  setting  to  their  home 
communities. 

This  year  also  saw  significant 
activity  in  several  prevocational 
areas.  The  Board  of  Trustees 
supported  the  construction  of  a 
new  greenhouse  to  replace  the 
small  outdated  facility  we  have 
been  using. 

A  second  prevocational  pro- 
gram, sales,  which  has  been  an 
important  part  of  Secondary 
students'  programs,  has  offered 
placements  at  the  Pioneer 
Market,  a  small  neighborhood 
market  owned  by  Perkins. 
Experience  gained  in  the  on- 
campus  student  store  can  be 
transferred  to  this  competitive 
setting  where  students  work 
with  the  public.  The  Pioneer 
Market,  located  two  blocks  from 
Perkins,  is  easily  accessible 
from  the  school.  It  offers  a 


and  keeping  records  of 
inventory. 

Fifteen  students  participated 
in  Keller-Sullivan,  Bennett  and 
Fisher  "live-ins"  in  1982-83.  For 
1983-84  a  year-long  "live-in" 
program  is  planned  for  Keller- 
Sullivan,  a  half-year  "live-in" 
for  Fisher  Cottage,  and  two 
half-year  "live-ins"  for  Bennett, 
which  will  now  hold  six  or 
seven  students,  as  a  result  of 
last  year's  renovation. 

The  Bennett  "live-in"  will  be 
modeled  after  a  community  res- 
idence program  to  meet  the 
needs  of  students  who  will  even- 
tually require  this  type  of  living 
arrangement.  Approximately 
twenty  students  are  expected  to 
participate  in  these  "live-in" 
programs. 

In  1983-84  the  new  elevator 
project  made  several  levels  of 


the  Howe  Building  accessible  to 
the  physically  handicapped, 
increasing  opportunities  in 
physical  education,  swimming, 
and  recreation.  The  purchase  of 
a  chair  car  also  gave  physically 
handicapped  Secondary  stu- 
dents more  access  to  the 
community. 

The  structural  Secondary 
recreation  program  was 
expanded  to  offer  more  recrea- 
tional opportunities  for  evenings 
and  weekends.  Although  the 
Secondary  Program  has  real- 
ized some  of  its  long-range  goals 
through  consolidation,  we  con- 
tinue to  look  ahead  to  transi- 
tion, change,  and  program 
development,  to  meet  the  needs 
of  our  current  population. 

Cynthia  Essex, 

Program  Supervisor 


In  1982-1983,  the  Deaf-Blind 
Program  served  sixty-seven  stu- 
dents, most  of  whom  were  ado- 
lescents. Consequently,  the  cur- 
riculum continues  to  include  a 
three-fold  emphasis  upon  daily 
living  skills,  prevocational 
training,  and  continued  aca- 
demic learning.  The  current 
enrollment  represents  a  net 
increase  in  the  number  of  stu- 
dents served  for  the  second  con- 
secutive year. 

Our  federally  funded  Voca- 
tional Model  Project  (Project 
A.D.V.A.N.C.E.)  completed  its 
third  and  final  year  of  funding. 
As  a  result  of  this  project,  27 
students  were  placed  in  40  dif- 
ferent off-campus  work  place- 
ments during  the  three  years. 
The  project  was  highly  success- 
ful as  a  model  and  is  now  being 
initiated  in  various  sites 
throughout  the  nation.  Most 


in  our  vocational  unit  and  will 
continue  to  offer  this  type  of 
training  to  deaf-blind  students 
in  the  future.  A  complete  guide 
to  implementing  such  a  pro- 
gram, entitled  Advancements:  A 
Replication  Guide,  will  be  avail- 
able from  Perkins. 

Perkins'  Deaf-Blind  Program 
is  also  the  fortunate  recipient  of. 
two  new  federal  grants,  both  of 
which  are  two-year  projects.  The 
first  is  a  grant  for  $97,300 
(FIRST  YEAR)  to  develop 
innovative  ways  to  train  and 
place  25  of  our  lower- 
functioning  deaf-blind  students 
in  sheltered  work  sites  which 
already  exist  in  the  community. 
These  sites  serve  other  handi- 
capped populations  but  are  lack- 
ing knowledge  in  serving  the 
deaf-blind.  This  grant  will  also 
identify  and  define  ideal  day 
habilitation  progams  for  deaf- 


of  production  work.  An  admin- 
istrator, 2V2  teachers,  and  a  half- 
time  secretary  will  be  employed 
on  this  grant. 

The  second  grant  is  for 
$97,000  (FIRST  YEAR),  and  its 
purpose  is  to  develop  an  inter- 
agency plan  for  serving  the 
deaf-blind  in  Massachusetts,  as 
they  become  adults.  The  intent 
is  to  develop  cooperation  and 
commitments  for  service  across 
agencies  in  order  to  guarantee 
the  full  spectrum  of  services 
which  this  population  requires. 
An  administrator,  a  transitional 
planning  specialist,  two  home 
and  personal  management 
teachers,  and  a  half-time  secre- 
tary will  be  employed  under  this 
grant.  It  is  expected  that  such 
agreements  will  be  in  place  prior 
to  the  sizeable  exodus  of 
"Rubella  students"  from  our 
program  in  1986-87. 

Although  the  regional  deaf- 
blind  center  which  serves  New 
England  is  now  based  at  the 
New  York  Institute  for  the  Edu- 
cation of  the  Blind,  Perkins  will 
continue  to  offer  consultation  to 
New  England  programs 
through  our  Deaf-Blind  Pro- 
gram. N.Y.I.B.,  with  Title  VI-C 
funds,  will  fund  a  position  of 
Educational  Consultant  to  the 
six  New  England  States,  to  be 
filled  by  Ms.  Marianne  Riggio, 
who  formerly  worked  in  this 
capacity  for  The  New  England 
Regional  Center. 

Our  program  now  has  two 


live-in  apartments  functioning, 
providing  on-campus,  super- 
vised apartment  living  expe- 
riences to  12-15  students  per 
year,  on  a  rotating  basis.  These 
apartments  have  proved  to  be 
an  excellent  instructional  oppor- 
tunity for  students.  The  addition 
of  two  home  and  personal  man- 
agement teachers  to  our  staff 
(under  model  grants)  should 
nicely  complement  the  facilities 
which  we  have  set  aside  for  this 
purpose. 

Our  program  graduated  two 
more  students  last  June.  One 
student  is  residing  in  a  group 
home  in  his  native  state  of  Ohio 
and  is  working  in  a  sheltered 
workshop.  The  other  student 
lives  independently  in  her  own 
apartment  in  Framingham  and 
is  competitively  employed  by  a 
motel  chain. 

It  is  clear  that  our  emphasis 
in  these  current  years  is  upon 
good  transitional  services  as  our 
students  enter  adulthood.  The 
demographics  of  our  population 
confirms  that  this  emphasis  is 
appropriate.  It  can  only  be 
expected  that,  as  our  deaf-blind 
children  enter  adult  life,  Perkins 
will  continue  to  be  at  the  fore- 
front of  offering  appropriate 
service  and  advocacy  for  the 
population  as  we  have  through 
their  early  childhood,  school 
years,  and  adolescence.

Program  Supervisor 


Project  ADVANCE  completed 
its  third  and  final  year  of 
federally-funded  model  activities 
during  1982-83.  Established  in 
1980  to  meet  the  growing  needs 
of  a  large  deaf-blind  population 
soon  to  exit  the  educational  sys- 
tem, the  project  has  successfully 
developed  a  variety  of  alterna- 
tives for  vocational  training  and 
service  delivery  to  visually 
impaired  and  hearing  impaired 
adolescents. 

Thus  far,  fourteen  private  sec- 
tor employers  have  worked 
cooperatively  with  project  staff 
to  provide  an  array  of  paid 
training  and  employment  expe- 
riences for  nearly  thirty  stu- 
dents, ages  16  through  22,  who 
attend  the  Perkins  Deaf-Blind 
Program.  These  community- 
based  job  placements  have 
offered  our  students  the  oppor- 
tunity to  work  with  varying 
degrees  of  supervision  in  small 
businesses  and  larger  corpora- 
tions as  part  of  their  regular 
school  programming. 

Additionally,  the  project 
moved  in  a  new  direction  this 
past  year  by  contracting  with 
three  area  sheltered  workshops 
to  provide  transition  services  for 
several  students  unable  to  enter 
into  competitive  employment, 
thereby  expanding  our  com- 
mitment to  serve  the  vocational 
needs  of  this  population  in  an 
innovative  and  comprehensive 
manner. 

While  our  staff  of  seven  con- 
tinued to  provide  on-the-job 
training  for  project  participants, 
a  new  focus  was  prompted  by 
the  graduation  of  two  students. 


An  active  and  close  working 
relationship  with  rehabilitation 
personnel  was.  established  to 
ensure  successful  transition  to 
appropriate  vocational  place- 
ments in  the  students'  home 
communities. 

The  final  year  of  federal  fund- 
ing placed  an  increasing 
emphasis  on  specific  dissemina- 
tion activities  and  the  develop- 
ment of  written  products  linked 
to  the  model  nature  of  the  pro- 
ject: staff  were  requested  to  par- 
ticipate in  numerous  profes- 
sional conferences  and 
workshops  on  both  a  local  and 
national  basis  and  to  consult  to 
other  programs  serving  multi- 
impaired  individuals;  vocational 
curricula  and  an  extensive 
replication  manual  were  further 
refined  and  readied  for  publica- 
tion; and  an  in-depth  program 
evaluation  was  conducted 
through  analysis  of  data  on 
student  work  performances, 
employer/co-worker  attitudes, 
and  cost  effectiveness. 

The  true  success  of  a  model 
project  can  often  be  measured  in 
terms  of  the  extent  to  which  its 
continuity  endures  beyond  spe- 
cial funding.  We  have  every 
indication  that  Perkins  and  our 
cooperative  network  of  employ- 
ers will  continue  to  support  and 
develop  quality  community- 
based  training  programs  for  a 
population  which  so  richly 
benefits  from  them.

Project  Administrator 


The  1982-83  year  was  one  of 
exciting  changes  in  the  Adult 
Services  Program.  As  we  opened 
in  the  fall,  final  touches  were 
being  put  on  the  reconstruction 
of  our  residential  facility.  With 
newly  redesigned  bathrooms, 
the  installation  of  kitchens  in 
each  apartment,  and  the  con- 
struction of  an  outside  ramp,  the 
second  floor  of  the  building 
became  completely  accessible  on 
the  second  floor  to  the  orthope- 
dically  impaired. 

While  these  physical  renova- 
tions to  our  facility  were  being 
completed,  so  was  a  reorganiza- 
tion of  our  program  structure. 
As  it  became  increasingly  clear 
that  adults  eighteen  years  of 
age  and  above  being  referred  for 
programming  fell  into  two  dis- 
tinct groups,  the  program  was 
divided  into  these  two  groups. 
The  Multi-Impaired  Blind  Unit 
offers  training  to  meet  the  needs 
of  adults  with  impairments  in 
one  or  more  of  the  following 
areas:  vision,  hearing,  cognition, 
language  or  orthopedics.  Most, 
though  not  all,  of  these  impair- 
ments have  been  present  since 
birth. 

The  Head  Injury  Unit,  on  the 
other  hand,  deals  with  clients 
who  have  been  traumatically 
head-injured  as  a  result  of  a 
motor  vehicle  accident.  The 
resulting  condition  includes  a 
variety  of  impairments  such  as 
those  involving  deficiency  in 
memory  and  cognition,  physical 
abilities,  vision,  communication, 
and  social  skill  development.  As 
the  tragic  incidence  of  head 
injury  has  increased  and  medi- 
cal science  has  developed  tech- 
niques to  save  lives,  there  has 
been  a  dramatic  increase  in  the 


need  for  services  for  the 
head-injured. 

The  division  into  two  units 
has  enabled  Adult  Services  to 
ensure  a  functional  and  com- 
prehensive program  to  meet  the 
specific  needs  of  each  group  of 
clients.  The  main  emphasis  in 
both  units  continues  to  be  on 
training  in  vocational  skills, 
daily  living  skill  development, 
and  the  necessary  clinical 
therapies. 

This  was  the  final  year  of  the 
T.E.C.  contract,  which  was 
again  awarded  to  Perkins.  In 
this  phase,  the  services  focused 
on  outreach  services  to  benefit 
visually  impaired  clients  at 
Walter  E.  Fernald  State  School. 
We  provided  consultative  and 
transitional  services  to  the  staff 
at  Fernald  to  improve  services 
for  the  visually  impaired  within 
the  school.  The  T.E.C.  contract 
was  successful  not  only  in  deli- 
vering services  to  the  visually 
impaired  clients  at  Fernald,  but 
also  in  fostering  closer  profes- 
sional relations  between  staff  at 
Perkins  and  Fernald  State 
School. 

As  the  year  drew  to  a  close, 
Adult  Services  had  certainly 
benefitted  from  a  newly  reno- 
vated facility  and  the  division  of 
the  program  into  two  distinct 
units.  Requests  for  service  con- 
tinued to  increase,  and  the  fall 
of  1984  is  expected  to  open  with 
Adult  Services  at  near  fall 
capacity.

The  Teacher  Education  Pro- 
gram in  the  1982-83  school  year 
provided  an  opportunity  for  19 
full-time  students  -  8  from  the 
United  States  and  1 1  from  over- 
seas -  to  pursue  their  training  as 
teachers  of  blind  or  deaf-blind 
children.  Of  the  8  American 
students,  one  each  came  from 
six  states  -  California,  Connect- 
icut, Maine,  Massachusetts, 
Pennsylvania,  and  New  Jersey; 
and  two  came  from  New  York. 
All  were  Master's  degree  candi- 
dates at  Boston  College,  which 
is  affiliated  with  Perkins.  A 
teacher  from  New  York  State 
was  the  honored  recipient  of  the 
George  Zermas  Memorial  Schol- 
arship, awarded  by  the  Lowell 
Association  for  the  Blind  to  an 
outstanding  student  preparing 
to  be  an  educator  of  blind 
children. 

The  eleven  (11)  foreign  stu- 
dents came  from  ten  countries 
around  the  world  -  one  each 
from  India,  Honduras,  Nigeria, 
Malaysia,  Pakistan,  Poland, 
Quebec,  Taiwan,  and  Thailand; 
and  two  from  England.  Of  this 
number,  one  student  received  a 
Rotary  International  Scholar- 
ship from  Pakistan  and  another 
a  scholarship  from  the  Nigerian 
Ministry  of  Education.  Four  of 
the  foreign  students  were  Mas- 
ter's degree  candidates  at  Bos- 
ton College.  By  the  end  of  the 
school  year,  a  fifth  foreign  stu- 
dent was  admitted  to  the  degree 
program  at  Boston  College  and 
a  sixth  student,  as  a  result  of  his 
training  at  Perkins,  became 
eligible  for  admission  to  the 
undergraduate  program  at 
Lesley  College. 

Of  the  19  students,  15  were 
awarded  the  Perkins  Diploma  or 
Certificate  as  Teachers  of  the 
Blind  (10),  Teachers  of  the  Deaf- 
Blind  (1),  or  Instructor  in  Orien- 


tation and  Mobility  (4). 

In  addition  to  the  19  full-time 
students,  the  Perkins  Teacher 
Education  Program  provided 
short-term  training  for  a  four- 
month  period  for  three  foreign 
students  -  two  administrators 
and  one  teacher.  One  was  the 
Director  of  the  School  for  the 
Blind  in  Jerusalem,  another 
was  the  Inspector  for  Special 
Education  in  the  Sind  Province 
of  Pakistan,  and  the  third  was  a 
teacher  at  the  Bangkok  School 
for  the  Blind  in  Thailand. 

It  was  a  challenging  and 
busy  year  for  the  staff  of  the 
Teacher  Education  Program,  as 
-well  as  other  Perkins  staff, 
which  provided  14  overseas 
teachers  and  administrators  the 
opportunity  to  receive  an  indi- 
vidualized educational/training 
program  in  three  fields  of  study: 
the  education  of  blind  or  visu- 
ally impaired  children,  deaf- 
blind  children,  and  multi- 
impaired  blind  or  visually 
impaired  children. 

The  courses  and  activities  of 
the  Teacher  Education  Program 
focused  on  the  education  and 
rehabilitation  of  blind  or  visu- 
ally impaired  persons  and 
included  the  following  courses 
as  they  relate  to  the  Perkins 
Diploma  Program:  major  trends 
and  issues  in  the  education  and 
rehabilitation  of  blind  persons 
around  the  world;  teaching 
methods  and  teaching  aids  used 
in  the  education  of  blind/visu- 
ally impaired  persons;  introduc- 
tion to  aspects  of  U.S.  culture; 
English  as  a  second  language; 
and  planned  field  trips  to  local 
education  and  rehabilitation 
programs  for  blind  persons.

supported  by  Perkins  and  the 
Mass.  Commission  for  the 
Blind,  finished  a  highly  produc- 
tive first  year.  The  major  pro- 
gram goals  for  this  year  were  to 
conduct  site  surveys  within  var- 
ious companies  and  to  develop 
training  programs  which  would 
train  visually  impaired  people 
for  employment. 

The  job  surveys  were  pre- 
viously the  responsibility  of  the 
project  consultants  from  Occu- 
pational Rehabilitation  Group. 
Each  survey  consisted  of  inter- 
views with  managers  and 
workers,  and  an  analysis  of 
operations  and  equipment 
involved  in  a  particular  job.  The 
consultants  frequently  per- 
formed the  job  tasks  themselves 
in  order  to  understand  the  work 
requirements  facing  a  visually 
impaired  individual.  Not  only 
was  the  adaptability  of  the 
specific  location  considered  for 
each  job,  but  also  the  labor 
union  issues  and  possibilities  for 
job  advancement  beyond  entry 
level.  Surveys  were  done  at  15 
companies  in  eastern  Massachusetts. 

The  other  project  goal,  that  of 
developing  training  programs, 
focused  this  year  primarily  on 
the  clerical/secretarial  areas. 
This  is  one  of  the  largest  growth 
industries  in  Massachusetts, 
and  an  area  historically  adapt- 
able for  the  visually  impaired. 
The  approach  the  project  took  in 
providing  training  was  to  sup- 
port two  ongoing  progams  (one 
at  Cambridge  Economic  Oppor- 
tunity Center;  the  other  at 
Wordsystems)  in  integrating 
visually  impaired  people  into 
their  training  classes.  Occupa- 
tional Training  for  the  Blind 


staff  modified  the  curriculum  for 
use  without  sight,  and  began 
transferring  it  to  tape.  When 
hardware  modification  was 
necessary  (as  in  making  the 
print  larger  on  a  word  process- 
ing monitor),  we  arranged  for 
the  equipment  to  be  provided. 
While  the  breadth  of  instruction 
at  CEOC  was  general  secretar- 
ial skills,  Wordsystems  trained 
clients  specifically  in  word 
processing.  These  resources  are 
invaluable  in  preparing  visually 
impaired  clients  for  careers  in 
court  stenography  and  compu- 
ter operations,  as  well  as  more 
traditional  jobs  in  transcription 
and  receptionist  positions. 

Occupational  Training  for  the 
Blind  also  worked  extensively 
with  the  New  England  Tele- 
phone Company  to  examine  4 
possible  positions  which  show 
promise  of  being  adapted  for  the 
visually  impaired.  The  result  of 
this  work  was  a  Project  with 
Industries  grant  which  will  fund 
two  occupational  training  spe- 
cialists to  assist  NET  with  the 
process  of  modifying  job  sites 
and  training  procedures  to 
accommodate  visually  impaired 
workers.  The  Project  with 
Industries  grant  also  establishes 
similar  support  for  adapting 
jobs  at  American  Telephone  and 
Telegraph  and  Wang 
Laboratories. 

In  addition  to  these  major 
efforts,  Occupational  Training 
for  the  Blind  ran  a  seminar  on 
running  a  small  business;  a 
workshop  on  Industrial  Rehabil- 
itation; and  a  summer  program 
offering  courses  in  typing  and 
medical  transcription.  As  OTB 
completes  its  second  year,  the 
emphasis  will  remain  on  con- 
ducting job/site  surveys  to 
determine  jobs  which  can  be 


done  without  sight,  and  assist- 
ing companies  in  modifying 
training  programs  to  accommo- 
date the  visually  impaired.  A 
high  priority  will  be  given  to 
disseminating  the  job  data 
already  collected  to  appropriate 
referral  sources,  and  to  con- 
structing a  referral  for  training 


support  sequences  which  is 
ongoing.  One  of  our  major  activ- 
ities will  be  coordinating  our 
work  with  that  of  the  Carroll 
Center  in  evaluating  and  train- 
ing computer-oriented  skills. 

Julie  Solomon, 

Coordinator 


The  Clinical  Services  team 
had  an  active  and  productive 
academic  year  in  1982-83.  Our 
formal  organization  dates  back 
to  1978,  and  with  an  unusually 
low  staff  turnover,  most  of  the 
team  members  have  significant 
experience  in  providing  and 
refining  the  delivery  of  clinical 
services  to  our  students  and 
clients.  We  are  proud  of  our 
interdisciplinary  team 
approach,  and  we  believe  our 
time  together  has  enabled  us  to 
understand  and  appreciate  each 
other's  professional  responsibili- 
ties. It  is  this  approach  and 
style  that  has  uniquely  enabled 
us  to  provide  comprehensive 
service  to  each  student  and 
client. 

As  in  the  past  year,  we  have 
continued  to  recruit  additional 
clinical  staff  members  in  order 
to  meet  the  increasingly  com- 
plex needs  of  a  very  special 
population  of  new  and  returning 
students  and  clients.  Of  course, 
we  have  not  deviated  from  our 
goal  to  provide  the  highest  qual- 
ity clinical  and  educational  ser- 
vices to  each  student  and  client. 
The  specialists  who  have 
worked  toward  this  uncompro- 
mising goal  included  psycholo- 
gists, social  workers,  occupa- 
tional therapists,  physical 
therapists,  behavior  manage- 
ment specialists,  speech  and 
language  pathologists,  audiolo- 


gists,  an  educational  assess- 
ment specialist,  an  evaluation 
supervisor,  and  a  registrar. 
Other  clinical  personnel,  such 
as  psychiatrists,  neuropsychol- 
ogists, and  other  medical  spe- 
cialists, have  been  available  to 
provide  consultation  as 
necessary. 

Each  educational  program 
has  evolved  a  service  team  in 
which  the  above-noted  staff 
worked  in  close  cooperation 
with  education/rehabilitation 
supervisors,  teachers,  and  cot- 
tage staff  in  order  to  provide 
fully  integrated  services.  All 
such  services  are  based  on  a 
clearly  defined  educational  or 
rehabilitation  plan  which  is 
individually  tailored  for  each 
student  and  client.  It  is  this  sys- 
tem of  service  delivery,  often 
referenced  by  human  service 
personnel  but  rarely  practiced 
as  it  is  at  Perkins  School,  which 
has  facilitated  effective  com- 
munication, ongoing  staff  train- 
ing, regular  review  of  student/ 
client  programs,  and  continuity 
in  programming. 

Perkins  has  again  provided 
complete  medical  services  and 
other  consultations  through  a 
contract  agreement  with  Gen- 
eral Medical  Associates.  Two 
full-time  nurse  practitioners  and 
a  physician  are  located  on  the 


Perkins  campus,  and  emergency 
medical  services  are  imme- 
diately available  24  hours  per 
day,  seven  days  a  week.  In  addi- 
tion to  an  annual  medical  and 
ophthalmologic^  examination 
for  each  student  and  client, 
ongoing  medical  care  is  pro- 
vided as  necessary.  We  are  also 
pleased  to  note  that  the  dental 
program  with  the  Tufts  Dental 
Facility  for  the  Handicapped 
has  enabled  us  to  continue  pro- 
viding dental  screenings  as  well 
as  preventive  and  restorative 
services. 

Clinical  staff  recruitment, 
assignment,  and  supervision 
have  remained  as  primary 
responsibilities  of  the  Coordina1 
tor  of  Clinical  Services.  Other 
important  functions,  such  as 
ensuring  that  sufficient  clinical 
and  medical  services  are  avail- 
able to  each  student  and  client, 
have  been  augmented  through 
close  communication  with  the 
Coordinator  of  Instructional 
Programs,  supervisors,  and 
other  program  staff.  Regularly 
scheduled  meetings,  such  as 
supervisory  sessions,  task  forces 
and  steering  committees,  have 
continued  to  provide  the  impe- 
tus for  program  development 
and  refinement. 

It  is  important  to  note  that 
the  Clinical  Services  staff  have 
initiated  far  more  peer  collabo- 
ration groups  within  the  clinical 
disciplines  as  a  means  of 
increasing  our  knowledge  base 
and  receiving  more  consensual 
validation.  We  have  continued 
to  provide  opportunities  for  in- 
service  training  through  team 
meetings,  daily  contact  with 
other  program  staff,  seminars 
and  professional  conferences. 
The  clinical  staff  have  also 
learned  through  teaching  other 


graduate  school  interns;  in  fact, 
our  university  affiliations  have 
significantly  increased  in  the 
areas  of  physical  therapy, 
speech  and  languge  pathology, 
and  counseling.  Consultation 
and  education  by  Clinical  Servi- 
ces staff  to  Perkins  staff  and 
other  community  groups  has 
constituted  an  important  out- 
reach service. 

Other  major  planning  efforts 
and  advances  in  the  delivery  of 
services  have  represented  a  tre- 
mendous expenditure  of  time 
and  energy  by  clinical  staff 
members,  both  on  an  individual 
basis  and  through  work  on 
active,  task-oriented  committees. 
Examples  of  some  important 
areas  include  the  strengthening 
of  a  positive  behavioral 
approach,  involvement  with 
families  of  our  students  and 
clients,  planning  for  campus- 
based  low  vision  services, 
refinement  of  crisis  prevention 
and  intervention  procedures, 
development  of  a  community 
mental  health  services  network, 
and  the  continued  improvement 
of  communication  and  man- 
agement skills.  The  above  serve 
only  to  highlight  ways  in  which 
we  are  planning  for  the  future. 

The  Perkins  evaluation  pro- 
cess, for  individuals  who  are 
referred  to  us  for  program 
recommendations  or  admission, 
deserves  a  special  note.  Several 
of  these  comprehensive  one-  and 
two-day  evaluations  are  con- 
ducted each  week  throughout 
the  year  by  Clinical  Services 
and  other  program  staff  and  are 
regarded  as  an  important 
responsibility.  The  Supervisor  of 
Evaluations  has  worked  with 
the  Coordinator  of  Clinical  Ser- 
vices in  fulfulling  a  record 


number  of  requests  for  evalua- 
tions. It  is  significant  that  dur- 
ing each  succeeding  year,  for 
the  past  four  years,  we  have 
witnessed  ever-increasing 
requests  for  our  evaluation  ser- 
vices. We  sincerely  hope  this 
reflects  our  attempts  to  provide 
a  high  quality,  flexible,  and 
individualized  evaluation  pro- 
cess. Further  information 


regarding  this  service  is  readily 
available  upon  request. 

Clinical  Services  staff  will 
continue  to  pledge  their  efforts 
and  services  toward  assisting 
each  student  and  client  in 
attaining  his  or  her  greatest 
potential,  independence,  and 
self  esteem.

The  year  1982-1983  was  one  of 
fruition  for  the  Outreach  Pro- 
gram at  Perkins.  Over  the 
summer,  with  the  restructuring 
of  Secondary  Services,  Outreach 
Services  became  an  independent 
program.  The  Advisory  Council 
for  Outreach  Services  represen- 
tative of  itinerant  teachers,  state 
administrators,  rehabilitation 
workers,  and  public  school  spe- 
cial education  directors,  gave 
steady  support  to  Perkins  in 
sharing  the  Outreach  activities. 

Several  of  the  other  Perkins 
programs  have  developed  out- 
reach services  in  the  form  of 
teaching  and  clinical  staff  for 
consultation  to  community  pro- 
grams. The  role  of  outreach  has 
rapidly  expanded  in  the  last 
year,  and  will  continue  to  do  so 
in  the  years  to  come. 

An  in-service  series  serving 
the  needs  of  the  itinerant 
teachers  of  the  visually 
impaired  was  established  in 
April,  1983.  The  series  entitled 
Frontiers  in  Educating  the  Vis- 
ually Impaired,  presented  a 
lively  workshop  in  April  on 
vision  therapy,  with  presenters 
from  the  New  England  College 
of  Optometry.  Another  work- 
shop was  presented  in 
November  on  microcomputer 


access  technology  for  visually 
impaired  students.  This  day- 
long event  allowed  teachers  to 
practice  using  adapted  output 
technology  (to  produce  speech, 
braille  and  large  type),  as  well 
as  to  gain  basic  information 
about  microcomputers  through 
a  presentation.  This  workshop 
was  given  at  Perkins,  and  then 
repeated  the  next  day  in  South 
Hadley,  MA.  All  these  work- 
shops were  very  well-attended, 
and  attracted  teachers  from 
Rhode  Island,  Connecticut,  and 
New  Hampshire  as  well  as 
Massachusetts.  Topics  sug- 
gested for  future  inclusion  in  the 
Frontiers  series  are:  comprehen- 
sive assessment  of  a  visually 
impaired  student;  strategies  for 
mainstreaming  a  blind  student 
into  physical  education,  indus- 
trial education,  and  home  eco- 
nomics classes;  and  follow-up 
work  in  computers. 

The  other  major  focus  of  Out- 
reach has  been  to  develop  sup- 
plemental services  for  visually 
impaired  students  who  are  in 
public  schools.  In  October,  the 
first  Career  Development  week- 
end was  held  on  the  Perkins 
campus,  and  was  attended  by 
12  high  school  students.  The 
participants,  who  ranged  in  age 
between  16  and  20,  came  from 


Massachusetts,  Connecticut, 
and  New  Hampshire.  The  week- 
end was  conducted  in  a  seminar 
format,  with  the  Outreach 
Supervisor  and  a  vocational 
consultant  co-leading  the  ses- 
sions. The  participants  took  a 
vocational  interest  inventory 
and  then  examined  individually 
and  within  the  whole  group 
some  of  the  training  require- 
ments and  career  options  indi- 
cated by  that  instrument.  They 
also  read  several  articles  and 
performed  exercises  concerning 
decision-making  and  use  of 
time.  Such  a  weekend  could 
never  succeed  if  it  were  all  work; 
accordingly,  this  weekend  was 
liberally  laced  with  time  for 
social  interaction.  The  students 
enjoyed  Saturday  afternoon  in 
the  Perkins  gym  facilities,  and 


Saturday  evening  in  Boston. 
Within  the  seminars  and  during 
recreational  time,  many  of  these 
students  had  their  first  expe- 
rience of  sharing  thoughts  and 
feelings  with  a  peer  group  of 
partially-sighted  teenagers.  In 
follow-up  discussions  with  stu- 
dents, parents,  and  itinerant 
teachers,  there  was  enthusiastic 
endorsement  of  this  kind  of 
peer-support  experience.  Other 
suggested  topics  for  future  week- 
end seminars  are:  independent 
living;  coping  with  declining 
vision;  dealing  with  public 
school  teachers;  college  re- 
sources and  volunteer  services, 
dating  and  social  relationships; 
and  computer  literacy.

The  Program  for  the  Severely 
Impaired  officially  opened  on 
June  1,  1983  after  eight  months 
of  preparation.  The  self- 
contained  program  is  housed  in 
Potter  Cottage,  which  required 
extensive  renovations  in  order 
to  be  suitable  for  the  needs  of 
the  students.  In  addition  to  the 
renovations  (such  as  removing 
lead  paint  and  installing  auto- 
matic fire  door  closures  and  an 
outside  alarm  system),  special- 
ized equipment  and  adaptive 
furniture  was  ordered.  Thera- 
pists and  other  professionals 
were  consulted  and  research 
was  performed,  in  order  to  be 
certain  that  the  equipment  pur- 
chased would  be  beneficial  to 
the  population  to  be  served.  This 
required  clearly  defining  the 
potential  population  through 
discussion  of  entry/exit  level 
criteria  with  the  other  program 
supervisors  and  determination 


of  the  needs  within  the  com- 
munity. Both  written  and  per- 
sonal contacts  were  made  with 
other  programs  and  profession- 
als in  the  field,  which  also 
enabled  The  Program  for  the 
Severely  Impaired  to  market  its 
services. 

Being  a  year-round  program, 
The  Program  for  the  Severely 
Impaired  accepted  students 
throughout  the  summer,  and 
quickly  grew  to  the  current  pop- 
ulation of  seven  (with  other 
potential  students  continuing  to 
be  referred).  This  growth  also 
required  an  increase  in  the 
number  of  staff  in  order  to 
maintain  the  staff-to-student 
ratio  of  1:2  or  3.  With  each 
incoming  student,  it  was  possi- 
ble to  offer  more  services.  In 
addition  to  certified  educational 
staff,  clinical  staff  were  hired,  as 
well  as  domestic  service  staff. 
Scheduling  the  staff  in  a 


manner  most  advantageous  to 
the  program  required  careful 
consideration.  An  overlap  in 
shifts  was  created  to  enable 
staff  to  meet  daily,  coordinate 
their  efforts,  and  work  with  a 
true  team  approach. 

As  the  news  of  the  program's 
existence  spreads,  the  requests 
for  information  and  for  possible 
admissions  will  continue  to 


increase  in  number.  By  the 
spring,  The  Program  for  the 
Severely  Impaired  will  grow  by 
another  50%,  and  it  will  most 
likely  reach  its  total  capacity  of 
twenty  students  within  the  next 
year.

Program  Supervisor 


The  formal  opening  of  the 
gymnasium-pool  access  project, 
representing  the  culmination  of 
a  major  effort  of  the  Develop- 
ment Office  over  the  past  two 
years,  took  place  during  the 
summer  of  1983.  The  Hay  den 
Foundation  challenge  grant 
was  a  major  factor  in  raising 
the  necessary  funds. 

Our  first  Estate  Planning 
Seminar  was  held  during  the 
spring  of  1983  and  will  un- 
doubtedly account  for  increased 


support  in  every  way  for  Per- 
kins in  future  years. 

The  Annual  Appeal  (Children 
of  the  Silent  Night)  was  very 
successful  and  reached  record 
totals  of  $307,000  from  our 
10,000  donors.  Our  acquisition 
mailing  program  also  continued 
to  provide  new  donors  and 
dollars.

Last  year,  the  dietary 
department  provided  over 
200,000  meals  here  at  Perkins. 
This  year  we  will  duplicate  that 
service  in  increasing  numbers. 
In  addition,  we  endeavor  to  pro- 
vide clients  and  staff  with  clean 
cottages  and  fresh  linens. 


A  staff  of  over  50  dispatch 
these  duties  with  a  great  deal  of 
pride,  thus  maintaining  the 
high  standard  that  is  Perkins. 

Lincoln  Higgins 

Supervisor 


Thanks  to  the  hard  work  and 
dedication  of  the  Business 
Office  personnel,  the  1982-1983 
School  Year  was  a  success  from 
an  accounting  perspective. 
Coopers  &  Lybrand  was  able  to 
come  in  and  complete  their 
audit  in  less  time  than  it  has 
taken  in  the  last  five  years,  and 
we  were  able  to  have  audited 
Financial  Statements  for  the 


Corporation  meeting. 

All  automated  systems,  except 
for  fund  accounting,  which  are 
in  and  working  and  under  Jack 
Gleason's  expert  supervision, 
will  continue  to  be  adjusted  dur- 
ing this  year  to  reflect  changes 
in  the  School  and  Howe  Press. 

James  L.  Kates, 
Financial  Director 


Instructional  Support  Services 
at  Perkins  continues  to  serve  the 
school  in  a  wide  variety  of 
ways.  Below  is  a  brief  report  on 
each  of  the  major  areas  of 
responsibility  of  this  office.    - 

Volunteer  Services 

The  volunteer  program  at 
Perkins  continues  to  serve  as  a 
very  valuable  support  service. 
Our  volunteers  serve  as  aca- 
demic, cottage,  recreational,  and 
physical  education  aides.  Also, 
the  use  of  volunteers  as  travel 
guides  and  drivers  of  school 
cars  has  met  a  crucial  need  in 
the  health  services  program. 

Recruitment  efforts  have  been 
increased  by  use  of  all  forms  of 
the  media  (with  the  exception  of 
T.V.),  with  radio  spots  bringing 
the  best  results.  Interviewing, 
orientation,  and  training  of 
volunteers  is  more  complex  than 
in  the  past  since  training  volun- 
teers for  work  with  multi- 
impaired  students  has  begun. 

Some  of  Perkins'  long-time 
volunteers  have  reached  retire- 
ment age  and  have  left  the  area 
or  are  using  their  time  for 
travel.  Many  have  temporarily 
suspended  their  volunteer  activ- 
ity to  spend  their  time  pursuing 
more  education.  However,  there 


has  been  an  increased  interest 
in  volunteering  by  the  high 
school  sector.  With  considerable 
support  from  high  school 
administrators,  we  have  been 
able  to  make  good  use  of  these 
students.  At  the  college  level, 
students  from  St.  John's  Semi- 
nary in  Brighton  have  provided 
very  valuable  help. 

Each  week  day,  an  average  of 
fifteen  volunteers  give  two  to 
three  hours  of  time.  An  average 
of  five  volunteers  give  slightly 
longer  hours  on  Saturdays  and 
Sundays.  Just  under  200  volun- 
teers who  work  on  a  daily  basis 
were  registered  this  past  year, 
ranging  in  age  from  thirteen  to 
eighty-three,  and  from  more 
than  thirty  different 
communities. 

School  Library 

The  school  library  offered  its 
services  to  all  Perkins  programs 
again  this  year.  The  library  is 
staffed  by  a  3/4-time  library 
aide  who  this  year  was  respon- 
sible for  the  circulation  of  2,382 
items.  During  the  year,  the 
Lower  School  and  Upper  School 
Libraries  were  consolidated,  and 
both  collections  now  are  housed 
in  the  Howe  Building.  In  the 
process  of  merging,  a  complete 
reorganization  of  the  Upper 


School  Library  took  place.  Dur- 
ing 1982-1983,  the  school  library 
purchased  356  print  books,  17 
braille  books,  41  large  print 
books,  3  taped  books,  and  25 
music  cassettes.  Our  students 
and  clients  also  have  available 
to  them  the  extensive  resources 
of  the  Mass.  Regional  Library 
which  is  located  in  the  Howe 
Building.  In  order  to  promote 
the  services  of  the  school 
library,  a  Children's  Book  Week 
Open  House  was  held.  This 
activity  attracted  approximately 
150  people.  Our  goal  for  the 
library  is  to  continue  to  expand 
our  collection  and  to  improve 
library  services  to  provide  a  use- 
ful adjunct  to  the  instructional 
programs. 

Staff  Training 

Perkins  staff  taught  First  Aid, 
as  required  by  law,  and  a 
number  of  other  courses  to  our 
staff  members  during  1982-1983. 
Those  receiving  instruction  in 
First  Aid  and  CPR  totaled  79; 
Crisis  Prevention  and  Physical 
Intervention  training  was  given 
to  75  staff  members;  and 
instruction  in  other  areas  was 
given  to  the  following  numbers 
of  people:  Water  Safety  - 15,  Fire 
Safety  -144  (staff)  and  25  (stu- 
dents/clients), New  Games  -  30 
(staff)  and  40  (students/clients), 
and  additional  First  Aid  -  57. 

Again  this  year,  an  entire  day 
was  given  to  training  our  staff 
in  Fire  Extinguisher  Usage.  All 
of  our  staff  members  were 
invited  to  1  Vu-hour  sessions 
which  included  films,  demon- 
strations, and  actual  practice  in 
extinguishing  live  fires. 

Our  staff  trainer  spent  79V2 
hours  teaching  New  Games  and 
Crisis  Prevention  and  Physical 
Intervention  at  other  agencies 


this  year.  Fees  for  these  services 
totaled  $1,590.00. 

Perkins  staff  members  who 
drive  school  vehicles  are 
required  to  be  "cleared"  by  the 
staff  trainer.  Perkins  procedures 
and  safety  concerns  are 
stressed.  Well  over  200  staff 
members  have  received  this  in- 
service  training. 

New  staff  members,  regard- 
less of  the  time  of  year  they  are 
hired,  are  oriented  by  the  staff 
of  the  Personnel  Office.  Our 
staff  trainer  takes  part  by  talk- 
ing to  all  newly  hired  staff 
members  about  safety  and 
security  concerns.  Ninety  people 
were  oriented  this  year.  Perkins, 
through  the  efforts  of  our  staff 
trainer,  has  become  involved  in 
a  state-wide  task  force  on  non- 
violent physical  intervention, 
the  purpose  of  which  is  to 
develop  guidelines  and  criteria 
for  programs  and  support  sys- 
tems to  deal  with  aggressive 
and  out-of-control  behavior. 

Instructional  Materials 

The  relocating  of  the  Instruc- 
tion Materials  Center  in  the 
Howe  Building  was  completed 
in  1982-1983.  The  new  IMC 
room,  which  was  formerly  a 
study  hall,  not  only  gives  us 
more  space  but  is  completely 
accessible  to  the  orthopedically 
impaired.  Emphasis,  this  year, 
has  been  placed  on  adding  some 
needed  devices  to  our  supply  of 
audio-visual  hardware.  These 
additions  include  the  following: 
a  portable  public  address  sys- 
tem; a  Coloreader;  talking  calcu- 
lators; 3/4"  video  taping  equip- 
ment including  camera, 
recorder /playback,  and  monitor; 
a  16  mm  movie  projector;  syn- 
thesized speech  communication 
devices  (for  non-speaking  peo- 


pie);  and  4  Apple  computers 
with  related  software.  Instruc- 
tional Materials  services  this 
year  included  an  increased 
amount  of  video  taping  of  pro- 
gram activities  and  special 
events.  A  new  program  of  show- 
ing Perkins-produced  films  and 
films  on  the  subjects  of  blind- 
ness and  deaf-blindness  was 
initiated.  These  films  are  shown 
twice  a  week  to  all  interested 
persons. 

Continuing  IMC  functions 
include  maintenance  of  all 
audio-visual  equipment,  lending 
this  equipment,  assisting 
teachers  in  program  develop- 
ment, filming  activities,  show- 
ing films,  videotaping,  and 
other  associated  functions. 

Because  of  the  expansion  of 
IMC  functions  which  includes 
incorporation  of  computer  servi- 
ces, plans  for  the  year  call  for  a 
second  position  to  be  added  to 
the  IMC  staff. 

Licensing  and  Accreditation 

In  order  to  operate  as  a  school 
for  handicapped  students  and 
clients,  it  is  necessary  each  year 
for  us  to  renew  licenses.  These 
licenses  are  issued  by  town  or 
state  agencies  and  are  granted 
only  after  inspections  are  held 
and  recommendations  by  the 
inspecting  agency  are  met.  Per- 
kins operates  under  state  of 
Massachusetts  licenses  from  the 
Office  for  Children,  the  Depart- 
ment of  Special  Education,  and 
the  Department  of  Mental 
Health;  and  under  local  licenses 
from  the  Watertown  Board  of 
Health  and  the  Watertown  Fire 
Department.  All  of  these 
licenses  are  current. 

Perkins  also  is  accredited  by 
the  New  England  Association  of 
Schools  and  Colleges  and  the 


National  Accreditation  Council 
of  Agencies  serving  the  Blind 
and  Visually  Handicapped.  Self 
studies  and  on-site  reviews  con- 
stitute a  major  portion  of  the 
process  of  accreditation.  Both  of 
the  above  named  agencies  have 
accredited  Perkins  for  1982-1983. 

Rental  and  Use  of  Space 

Perkins  is  able  to  share  the 
use  of  some  of  its  facilities  with 
other  agencies  and  individuals. 
Those  wishing  to  rent  our  facili- 
ties meet  with  the  Coordinator 
of  Instructional  Support  Servi- 
ces to  discuss  rental  arrange- 
ments and  to  sign  an  agreement 
form.  Almost  all  rentals  take 
place  on  evening  and  weekends 
since  space  is  seldom  available 
when  school  is  in  session.  Dur- 
ing 1982-83,  the  North  Building 
Auditorium,  Panel  Room, 
Lounge  and  Gym  were  rented, 
while  Howe  Building  rentals 
included  Dwight  Hall,  the  Gym, 
Pool,  and  Chapel. 

A  new  rate  structure  for  ren- 
tals was  established  during  this 
school  year.  The  new  system 
established  a  base  rate,  and  an 
increment  is  added  for  each 
hour  used.  Agencies  for  the 
handicapped  and  Perkins 
employees  are  charged  less  than 
profit-making  or  non-profit- 
making  agencies.  The  system 
also  differentiates  between  large 
and  small  rental  areas.  Using 
this  new  rate  structure,  proceeds 
for  1982-1983  were  $5,379.25.  In 
1981-1982,  our  rental  income 
was  $4,069.75.  This  is  an 
increase  of  $1,308.50,  or  32%. 

Grant  Development 

Once  again  this  year,  this 
office  wrote  proposals  for  Title  I 
89-313  grants  from  Maine,  New 
Hampshire,  Vermont,  Rhode 


Island,  and  Massachusetts. 
These  are  entitlement  grants 
offered  by  the  federal  govern- 
ment and  administered  by  state 
governments.  Perkins  uses  these 
funds  to  supplement  the  salaries 
of  Clinical  and  Work  Activities 
staff  members.  The  Massachu- 
setts project,  Clinical  Services  - 
Phase  III,  provided  salaries  for 
a  Psychologist,  an  Occupational 
Therapist,  2  Social  Workers,  and 
a  half-time  Behavior  Manage- 
ment Specialist.  This  grant 
totaled  $103,124.  Funds  received 
from  the  other  four  states 
totaled  $8,794.84  and  were  used 
as  partial  salary  for  a  Work 
Activities  specialist.  All  of  the 
above-mentioned  grants  were 
evaluated  either  by  contract  or 
by  the  Coordinator  of  Instruc- 
tional Support  Services. 

In  cooperation  with  the  Town 
of  Watertown,  Perkins  applied 
for  and  received  $933,000  as  our 
share  of  "Block  Grant"  monies 
made  available  by  the  state  of 
Massachusetts.  These  funds 
were  used  to  purchase  occupa- 
tional therapy  equipment. 

Student  Transportation 

This  office  continues  to  moni- 
tor all  daily,  weekly,  and  holi- 
day transportation  of  students. 
This  function  necessitates  close 
and  continuing  contacts  with 
local  cab  companies,  with  par- 
ents of  our  students/clients, 
with  houseparents  and  other 
cottage  staff  members,  and  with 
agencies  which  sponsor  the  stu- 
dents. Daily  and  weekend 
transportation  from  school  to 
home  and  back  is  accomplished 
mostly  through  contracts  with 
taxi  companies  and  by  parents' 
private  vehicles.  Holiday  trans- 
portation, on  the  other  hand, 
takes  place  through  the  utiliza- 


tion of  Perkins-owned  vehicles 
and  Perkins  staff  members  who 
serve  as  drivers  and  guides  to 
transport  our  students/clients  to 
and  from  bus  and  train  termi- 
nals in  Boston  and  to  and  from 
Logan  Airport.  This  year  Per- 
kins retired  a  9-seat  station 
wagon  and  a  6-seat  station 
wagon  and  added  3  small- 
medium  station  wagons  with  a 
total  capacity  of  16.  Our  school- 
owned  fleet  of  passenger  cars 
now  consists  of  10  vehicles:  4 
small  station  wagons,  2 
medium-sized  station  wagons,  1 
large  station  wagon,  1  10-seat 
van,  and  a  chair  car.  The 
Instructional  Support  Services 
Office  is  responsible  for  the 
scheduling  and  daily  use  of 
these  vehicles. 

Safety  and  Security 

The  Perkins  Safety  and 
Security  Committee,  now  com- 
posed of  nine  staff  members, 
continued  to  function  this  year 
in  the  capacity  of  advising  the 
school  administration  on  all 
matters  pertaining  to  safety  and 
security.  The  committee  is  com- 
posed of  5  sub-committees 
which  meet  periodically  to 
review  progress  toward  meeting 
the  past  year's  goal,  to  establish 
goals  for  the  present  year,  and 
to  study  all  safety  and  security 
issues.  This  committee  has  been 
an  active  group  and  this  year  is 
pursuing  the  following 
concerns: 

Sub  Committee  on 
Fire  Evacuation 

1.  Conducting  fire  drills.  Sev- 
enty drills  were  held  in  1982-83. 

2.  Reducing  the  number  of 
false  alarms.  The  committee  is 
cooperating  with  the  Perkins 
Facilities  Department  and  the 


Watertown  Fire  Department  to 
reduce  these  numbers. 

3.  Revising  the  evacuation 
plan  of  the  Howe  Building.  This 
was  necessary  since  the 
Regional  Library  went  on  a 
4-day  week. 

4.  Revising  fire  evacuation 
forms  in  all  classrooms  and 
buildings.  The  new  format  will 
include  accessible  exit 
information. 

5.  Reviewing  routines  such  as 
annual  fire  extinguisher  demon- 
stration, snow  clearance  plans, 
and  Christmas  lighting. 

Sub  Committee  on 
Policy  Development 

Concerns  of  this  sub  commi- 
tee  include  updating  and  revi- 
sion of  the  following  policies: 
Use  of  Perkins  Pond,  Bicycles, 
Smoking  and  Fire  Evacuation. 
All  of  the  above  are  either 
revised  or  are  in  the  process. 
Enforcement  of  the  Perkins  pol- 
icies receives  constant  effort 
from  this  sub  committee. 

Sub  Committee  on 
Accident  Reporting 

Two  Safety  and  Security 
Committee  members  investigate 
all  accidents  on  campus  and 
make  recommendations  for 
prevention. 

Sub  Committee  on 
Parking  and  Traffic 

This  year  a  new  plan  was 
devised  to  control  parking  in  the 
Howe  Press-Stores  area.  Cam- 
pus signs  and  winter  parking 
will  be  two  of  this  year's  major 
concerns. 

Sub  Committee  on 
Inspecting 

In  the  spring  of  1983,  this 


four-member  sub  committee 
completed  its  inspections  of  all 
campus  buildings.  Detailed 
reports  were  written  and  dis- 
tributed to  staff  members 
occupying  the  areas  inspected 
and  to  all  departments  respon- 
sible for  correcting  problems 
noted  in  the  reports. 

Administrator  for 
Emergency  Coverage 

Eight  administrators  shared 
this  duty  this  year.  The  admin- 
istrator on  duty  is  required  to 
remain  "on  the  premises"  at  all 
times  and  to  deal  with  any 
emergency  situation  which 
might  arise.  He/she  is  on  duty 
from  5:00  p.m.  until  8:00  a.m.  on 
weeknights  and  from  5:00  p.m. 
Friday  until  8:00  a.m.  Monday 
for  weekend  coverage.  Some 
common  problems  which  in- 
volve the  AEC  are  medical 
emergencies,  fire  evacuations 
(false  alarms),  emergency  main- 
tenance situations,  and  student 
discipline  problems. 

Curriculum  Development 

1982  was  the  completion  of 
A  MOTOR  ACTIVITIES 
MANUAL  FOR  THE  MULTI- 
IMPAIRED  BLIND.  With  the 
completion  of  this  book,  Perkins 
now  has  19  curricula  which 
have  been  written  by  our  staff 
members,  printed  and  bound 
and  prepared  for  sale  and  dis- 
tribution by  Howe  Press. 

National  School  Lunch  Program 

The  school  year  1982-1983 
marked  the  fifth  year  in  which 
Perkins  has  participated  in  the 
Special  Milk  Program  which  is 
a  part  of  the  National  School 
Lunch  Program.  Through  this 
program,  the  school  is  reim- 
bursed each  month  for  the  milk 


consumption  of  our  students. 
For  the  12-month  period  Sep- 
tember 1982  to  August  1983,  the 
total  reimbursement  figure  was 
$11,727.44. 

Staff  Courses 

During  the  school  year  1982- 
1983,  three  Perkins  staff 
members  shared  their  expertise 
with  their  fellow  staff  members 
by  offering  courses.  Debbie 
Krause  taught  a  class  in  basic 


flower  arranging;  Ben  Kellman 
gave  instruction  in  woodwork- 
ing; and  Robbie  Fallon  taught 
juggling  and  circus  arts.  In 
addition,  Perkins  Health  Club 
held  spring  and  fall  courses  for 
our  alumni  and  staff,  and  the 
Run  for  Life  Program  included 
several  staff  members  in  its 
year-round  activities. 

A.  Claude  Ellis, 

Coordinator 


The  centralized  Personnel 
Office  continued  to  grow  and 
expand  into  a  number  of 
personnel-related  functional 
areas  during  Fiscal  Year  1983. 
These  areas  included: 

Employment 

During  Fiscal  Year  1983, 
2,024  applicants  applied  for 
positions  at  the  School  (this 
represented  a  35%  increase  over 
Fiscal  Year  1982).  During  the 
year  the  School  hired  169  new 
employees. 

The  monthly  New  Employee 
Orientation  Program  was 
expanded  to  give  all  newly  hired 
employees  a  chance  to  gain  an 
overview  of  the  functioning  of 
the  school.  The  Job  Opportunity 
Listing  continued  to  be  sent  to 
nearly  forty  agencies,  organiza- 
tions, and  colleges  in  the 
Greater  Boston  area.  The  Per- 
sonnel Office  was  represented  at 
Job  Fairs  and  on  five  college 
campuses  in  the  Boston  area  in 
order  to  recruit  personnel.  For 
recruiting  purposes  Personnel 
also  met  with  representatives  of 
agencies  serving  minorities, 
women,  older  workers,  and 
handicapped  workers.  Also  the 
Personnel  Office  participated  in 
the  "Discover  Watertown"  cam- 


paign in  its  advertisement 
program. 

Benefits 

For  the  first  time  in  nearly 
twenty  years  the  American  Red 
Cross  held  a  Blood  Drive  at  the 
School.  The  drive  proved  to  be  a 
wonderful  success.  An 
Employee  Services  Program 
was  developed  in  order  to  allow 
all  employees  to  take  advantage 
of  promotional  activities,  dis- 
count tickets,  and  special  events 
from  numerous  organizations  in 
Boston,  Massachusetts  and 
throughout  the  United  States. 
The  Service  Award  Program 
was  expanded  in  order  to  recog- 
nize all  employees  with  ten  or 
more  years  of  continuous  ser- 
vice. The  Bay  State  Health  Care 
Plan  became  the  third  health 
insurance  program  to  be  offered 
to  eligible  employees.  A  formal 
system  was  established  to 
inform  employees  about  the 
School's  pension  plan.  The  sys- 
tem included  providing 
employees  with  information 
about  the  pension  plan  when 
they  first  become  eligible  to  par- 
ticipate and  reviewing  pension 
benefits  with  employees  prior  to 
their  65th  birthdays.  A  formal 
program  was  established  to 


I IIIHIITfflllTTinTIMl 


inform  employees  of  their  bene- 
fits and  status  while  on  School- 
approved  Leave  of  Absences. 


Communication 

The  Benigram  was  developed. 
The  Benigram  is  a  monthly 
publication  issued  ten  times  a 
year  highlighting  the  School's 
benefits  and  explaining  them  in 
detail. 


Job  Classification 
and  Compensation 

A  comprehensive  review  of 
the  School's  job  classification 
and  compensation  program 
began  in  Fiscal  Year  1983.  The 
purpose  of  the  program  is  to 
insure  that  salary  levels  for  all 
positions  are  relative  one  to 
another  on  an  equitable  basis. 

Kenneth  Melanson, 

Director 


Our  public  relations  activities 
include  extensive  and  diverse 
programs  designed  to  increase  ' 
public  understanding  and  sup- 
port of  the  work  being  achieved 
at  Perkins. 

Media  contacts  include  editors 
of  and  reporters  from  daily  and 
weekly  newspapers,  the  major 
wire  services  (Associated  Press 
and  United  Press  Interna- 
tional), magazine  editors,  editors 
of  private  and  public  agencies' 
publications  interested  in  dis- 
abled people,  public  information 
officers  of  agencies  concerned 
with  disabled  people,  radio  and 
television  news  assignment  edi- 
tors, talk  show  hosts,  and  public 
service  directors  at  radio  and 
television  stations.  In  the  past 
year  these  contacts  enabled  us 
to  place  information  and  feature 
stories  about  Perkins  in  106 
local,  regional,  and  national 
publications  totalling  some  900 
separate  placements.  Based  on 
standard  rates  per  column  inch, 
this  would  be  the  equivalent  of 
$41,256  in  paid  advertising.  For 
example,  the  full-page  photo 
essay  about  Perkins  which 
appeared  in  The  Boston  Globe 
on  May  31, 1983  would  have 
cost  $10,314  had  the  school  been 
in  a  position  to  purchase  this 


Other  media  placements 
included  Perkins  staff  and  stu- 
dents as  integral  and/or  sole 
features  of  six  television  pro- 
grams and  four  radio  broad- 
casts. Moreover,  we  produced  a 
10-second  promotional  piece  for 
Perkins  in  December,  which 
promoted  the  annual  Christmas 
concerts  on  all  three  major  Bos- 
ton television  stations. 

To  further  increase  public 
understanding  and  support  of 
our  programs,  we  represented 
Perkins  at  three  major  profes- 
sional conferences:  The  Council 
for  Exceptional  Children  in 
Detroit;  the  President's  Commit- 
tee on  Employment  of  the  Hand- 
icapped in  Washington,  D.C. 
and  the  National  Rehabilitation 
Association  in  Boston.  We  con- 
ducted and/or  arranged  for 
campus  tours  for  476  persons. 

This  Office  continued  to  pub- 
lish The  Lantern  and  the  Per- 
kins Annual  Report.  The 
Annual  Report  garnered  a 
"Merit  Recognition  Award"  at 
the  15th  Annual  Bell  Ringer 
Awards  Competition,  sponsored 
by  the  Publicity  Club  of  Boston. 
According  to  the  judges,  the 
Perkins  Annual  Report  "dem- 
onstrated excellence  in  creative 
planning,  professional  execu- 


cess  in  reaching  the  school's 
public  relations  objectives." 

The  Office  of  Public  Relations 
&  Publications  was  also 
honored  for  the  creation  of  the 
several  logos  which  adorn  Per- 
kins publications.  These  logos 
were  cited  as  winners  in  Print 
magazine's  Annual  Graphic 
Design  Competition.  The  pre- 
eminent and  oldest  contest  of  its 
kind,  the  1983  event  attracted 
15,000  entries  from  coast  to 
coast,  ranging  from  symbols 
and  logos  and  letterheads  to 
thick  product  catalogs  and 


multi-faceted  advertising  cam- 
paigns. Perkins'  eight  logos, 
which  depict  particular  educa- 
tional programs  at  the  school, 
were  honored  for  their  "creative 
interpretation." 

In  addition  to  public  relations 
and  publication  efforts,  this 
office  also  supervises  the  opera- 
tion of  three  other  Perkins 
departments:  Mailing  Services, 
Duplicating,  and  Telecommuni- 
cations Systems.

NEW  ENGLAND  REGIONAL  CENTER  FOR 
SERVICES  TO  DEAF-BLIND  CHILDREN  1983 


238  deaf-blind  students  in 
New  England  received  services 
during  the  1982-83  school  year. 
Of  these,  223  benefitted  by 
added  attention  through 
$846,536  in  Federal  funds 
administered  by  the  New  Eng- 
land Regional  Center  for  Servi- 
ces to  Deaf-Blind  Children, 
under  the  sponsorship  of  Per- 
kins School  for  the  Blind.  The 
students  received  educational 
programming  in  28  schools  and 
other  agencies  located  through- 
outthe  six  New  England  States. 
An  additional  $161,994  was 
authorized  to  fund  the  Center 
for  120  days  during  Federal 
reorganization  of  priorities.  (A 
total  of  $4,787,620  was  autho- 
rized by  the  U.S.  Department  of 
Education  to  fund  Center  activ- 
ity over  the  past  5-year 
contract.) 

To  assist  parents  of  deaf-blind 
children  in  long-range  planning, 
a  conference  on  legal  rights  was 
held  at  Zambarano  Memorial 
Hospital  in  Rhode  Island.  This 
training  session  focused  upon 
rights  under  laws  for  the  handi- 
capped, as  well  as  considera- 
tions for  parents  during  transi- 
tion of  students  to  less- 
restrictive  program  settings. 

For  teacher  training,  the  Cen- 
ter sponsored  a  three-day  work- 
shop in  October  of  1982, 
attended  by  87  new  staff  from 
across  New  England.  Two  in- 
service  training  sessions  on 


were  held  in  Massachusetts  at 
Crystal  Springs  School  and  in 
Connecticut  at  Southbury 
Training  School.  A  final  train- 
ing opportunity  held  at  Perkins 
brought  in  a  speaker  on  the  sub- 
ject of  developing  non- vocal 
communication  systems. 

The  Center  operated  its  circu- 
lating resource  library,  con- 
ducted liaison  with  Washington, 
state  human  service  agencies 
and  with  other  regional  centers. 
Staff  revised  and  distributed  the 
resource  materials  list.  A  total  of 
1,250  individual  books  and  arti- 
cles were  shipped  during  the 
year.  A  1200-page  collection  of 
teacher  training  materials 
entitled,  Deaf-Blind  Education: 
Developing  Individually  Appro- 
priate Communication  and 
Language  Environments,  was 
published. 

Regional  Advisory  Committee 
meetings  were  held  through  the 
year,  of  which  the  main  concern 
has  been  the  possible  phase-out 
or  consolidation  of  Regional 
Center  services. 

During  1983,  the  U.S. 
Department  of  Education 
changed  its  priorities  and  con- 
solidated regions.  The  New 
England  Center  became  part  of 
Region  I,  which  includes  New 
Jersey,  New  York,  Puerto  Rico, 
and  the  Virgin  Islands,  as  well 
as  the  six  New  England  states. 
The  new  Center  is  to  be  admin- 
istered from  the  surviving  office 


the  Education  of  the  Blind.  Ser- 
vice priorities  are  to  be  changed 
from  school-age  deaf-blind 
children  to  those  who  fall  into 
pre-school  age  and  to  youths  in 
post-school  transition.  States  are 
to  assume  greater  responsibility 
under  the  state  special  educa- 
tion laws  for  those  in  the  school- 
age  bracket,  which  differs  in 
each  state. 

Certain  services,  such  as 
technical  assistance  to  educa- 
tion programs,  are  to  continue 
during  1983-84  as  an  outreach 
function  of  the  Perkins  Deaf- 


Blind  program,  with  funding 
flowing  from  the  new  Center.

The  President  also  reported  that  the  trustees  would  seek  means 
by  which  the  School  could  obtain  funding  for  the  building  renova- 
tions which  will  be  necessary  as  a  result  of  the  Dimeo  Construction 
Company  study. 

The  annual  report  of  the  Director  was  read  and  adopted. 

Some  of  the  Corporation  members  expressed  a  concern  that  Per- 
kins look  more  towards  the  needs  of  the  visually  impaired  elderly. 
The  President  assured  the  members  that  the  matter  had  been  dis- 
cussed by  the  trustees,  and  that  the  School  would  continue  to  look 
into  the  matter.  The  Director  suggested  that  possibly  the  School 
could  provide  evening  socials,  training  for  the  use  of  low- vision 
aids,  and  displays  on  campus  of  aids  for  the  visually  impaired 
elderly. 

The  Director  displayed  the  plaques  which  will  be  placed  on  the 
doors  to  the  pool.  The  plaques  read:  "The  Saltonstall  Pool  -  In  honor 
of  Richard  and  Mary  B.  Saltonstall."  The  plaques  are  written  in 
braille  and  raised  letters. 

The  Director  offered  tours  to  those  who  wished  to  see  the  new 
Thomas  Anthony  Pappas  Horticultural  Center,  and  an  opportunity 
to  speak  with  Program  Supervisors  concerning  their  various 
programs. 

There  being  no  further  business,  the  meeting  was  adjourned  at 
3:15  p.m. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Charles  C.  Woodcock,  Director  and  Secretary 


REPORT  OF  THE  PRESIDENT— 1982-83 

The  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Corporation  is  a  time  when  friends  of 
Perkins,  old  and  new,  gather  together  to  report  on  and  conduct  the 
business  of  the  school  which  has  served  so  many  for  such  a  long 
time. 

Those  of  us  who  work  to  accomplish  its  purposes  can  take  some 
pride  in  what  Perkins  has  achieved.  Mrs.  Mason  Fernald  (Helen) 
and  Gardner  Cushman  have  served  for  over  ten  years;  Roland 
Achin  and  John  Lowell  have  served  twenty-three  and  twenty-seven 
years,  respectively.  John  Bryant,  Samuel  Cabot,  David  Cheever, 
Dr.  Augustus  Thorndike,  and  Ralph  Williams  each  have  provided 
over  thirty  years  of  dedicated  service.  John  Bryant  is  still  very 
active  as  the  treasurer  for  the  School.  Others  are  carrying  on  their 
family  tradition  of  service  dating  back  decades.  Some  have  become 
instututions  almost  as  venerable  as  the  School  itself. 

On  that  note,  we  are  pleased  to  welcome  Mrs.  Mary  Alice 
Brennan-Crosby  and  Dr.  Frederick  H.  Lovejoy  to  the  Board  of 
Trustees.  We  look  forward  to  their  insights  with  the  knowledge  that 
we  will  benefit  from  their  experiences,  as  they  help  shape  the  future 
course  of  Perkins. 

Those  present  at  this  meeting  include  many  who  have  been  part 
of  the  organization  for  a  considerable  period  of  time,  while  others 
have  been  part  of  the  Corporation  for  only  a  few  moments.  We  wel- 
come all  equally  and  hope  that  each  of  you  will  share  with  us  the 
knowledge  that  you  have  accumulated  over  the  years,  so  that  we 
can  best  maintain  the  programs  for  which  Perkins  has  gained 
international  reknown. 

Perkins  is  a  blend  of  old  and  new.  Most  of  the  campus  was  built 
in  1912,  yet  the  North  Building  (the  building  in  which  we  are 
meeting)  was  built  in  1970. 

As  you  probably  know,  the  School  was  the  first  school  for  the 
blind  incorporated  in  this  country,  and  the  first  in  the  world  to 
teach  a  deaf-blind  student  successfully;  yet,  it  still  is  creating 
innovative  programs. 

The  Head  Injury  Unit  of  the  Adult  Services  Program  provides  a 
comprehensive  rehabilitation  program  for  traumatically  head- 
injured  persons  who  are  medically  stable  and  have  completed  their 
hospital  rehabilitation.  This  program  is  at  the  forefront  in  provid- 
ing services  to  a  population  whose  needs  have  not  been  met 
because  of  the  lack  of  programs  designed  for  its  problems.  The 
change  in  our  Charter,  which  you  authorized  at  last  year's  meeting, 
has  allowed  us,  on  a  limited  basis,  to  accept  non-blind  individuals 
into  this  unit.  The  techniques  for  treating  a  sighted  head-injured 
client  are  not  fundamentally  different  from  those  used  for  a  blind 
head-injured  client.  The  admission  of  sighted  clients,  then,  allows 
us  greater  flexibility  and  utilizes  the  program's  resources  to  a  fuller 
degree. 

The  Severe  Impaired  Program  has  gone  from  the  planning 
stages  to  full  implementation.  Potter  Cottage  has  been  renovated  so 
that  it  is  handicapped  accessible  and  provided  with  furniture  spe- 


cially  adapted  to  this  type  of  population.  The  program  serves 
severely  impaired  blind,  deaf-blind,  visually  impaired,  and  multi- 
impaired  students  from  the  ages  often  through  twenty-two  years. 
The  program  operates  for  forty-eight  weeks  out  of  the  year  and  so 
provides  a  continuum  of  services  to  those  students  who  require 
intensive  programming. 

Similarly,  our  Community  Residence  and  Independent  Living 
Services  Program  is  providing  an  opportunity  for  some  students 
and  clients  to  live  off-campus  in  less  structured  settings.  At  present 
we  have  several  houses  and  apartments  which  are  supervised  on 
either  a  continuous  or  intermittent  basis,  and  we  have  plans  to 
develop  several  more  within  the  community  in  the  next  few  years. 

Indeed,  Perkins  programs  are  adapting  to  a  changing  population. 
While  many  institutions  are  facing  program  cutbacks  and  closure 
in  the  wake  of  funding  cuts,  Perkins  has  been  able  to  maintain  its 
position  within  the  field  of  special  needs  education  and  rehabilita- 
tion by  always  being  practical  and  serving  real  needs. 

Now  to  touch  on  topics  which  many  of  you  have  heard  before: 
energy  and  finance. 

This  year  we  have  spent  approximately  ten  percent  less  for  fuel 
oil  and  electricity  than  in  the  previous  fiscal  year.  This  translates 
into  a  savings  of  $43,657.  This  figure  is  especially  remarkable  when 
coupled  with  the  $109,556  savings  that  was  accomplished  in  fiscal 
year  1981-82  as  compared  to  fiscal  year  1980-81.  The  future  may 
hold  other  energy-saving  renovations,  including  window  replace- 
ments, which  will  hopefully  allow  us  to  keep  this  trend  going  for 
several  more  years. 

Concerning  finance,  we  have  been  faced  with  another  year  of 
deficit  spending.  The  problem  stems  from  the  newness  and  oldness 
of  Perkins,  to  which  I  alluded  in  the  first  part  of  my  report.  Perkins 
must  continue  to  change  and  adapt  in  order  to  live  up  to  what  is 
expected  of  us.  These  innovations  have  meant  creating  new  pro- 
grams for  the  severely  impaired,  the  head  injured,  and  establishing 
community  residences.  Setting  up  these  programs  requires  much 
time,  effort  and  money;  while  the  amount  of  tuition  generated  dur- 
ing the  inception  of  these  programs  is  minimal.  We  are  working  to 
keep  the  lag  time  between  inception  and  implementation  to  the 
shortest  time  possible  but,  still,  deficits  will  be  incurred  during  the 
transition. 

The  age  of  our  physical  plant  continues  to  drain  our  resources. 
For  several  years,  we  have  been  faced  with  converting  sturdy  brick 
buildings  into  handicapped  accessible  structures;  the  task  is  still 
before  us  in  many  of  our  cottages.  Similarly,  the  upkeep  of  the 
buildings  is  a  monumental  task  which  has  required  much  labor 
and  study.  During  the  year  we  ordered  a  comprehensive  report  on 
the  condition  of  and  necessary  renovations  to  all  of  the  facilities 
owned  by  Perkins.  Decisions  to  be  made  as  a  result  of  the  study 
should  point  out  the  future  direction  of  the  renovations  and  rehabil- 
itation of  the  Perkins  campus.  Financing  renovations  is  something 
that  will  take  serious  discussion.  It  may  pull  away  resources  other- 
wise needed  for  programming.  We  will  need  to  pursue  all  avenues 


including,  perhaps,  legislation  allowing  private  non-profits  to  bor- 
row funds  through  HEFA,  Massachusetts  Higher  Eductional  Facil- 
ities Authority.  Today,  attorneys  are  alreadv  working  on  that  issue. 
Trustees  will  then  have  the  option  to  use  or  not  use  this  as  a  fund- 
ing source.  As  of  now,  we  have  no  option;  we  don't  qualify  as  a 
borrower. 

Now  it  is  my  duty  to  bring  to  your  attention  members  of  the 
Corporation  who  have  passed  on  this  year.  They  are: 

Miss  Andree  Cassels 
Mrs.  Richard  E.  Danielson 
Mrs.  George  D.  Dutton 
The  Reverend  John  U.  Harris 
Mrs.  Alfred  Kidder,  2nd 
Mr.  Frederick  J.  Leviseur 
Mrs.  Stewart  Sanders 

Their  service  dates  back  as  much  as  fifty  years.  Mr.  Frederick  J. 
Leviseur  became  a  member  of  the  Corporation  in  1933  when  his 
wife,  Rosanna,  started  her  tenure  as  a  trustee.  Mrs.  Richard  E. 
Danielson  was  elected  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  in  1934  and  served 
in  that  role  until  1961.  Since  1972,  she  served  as  an  honorary  trustee. 
We  will  feel  the  loss  of  each  of  these  fine  persons  for  some  time 
to  come. 

In  closing,  I  would  like  to  thank  those  whose  daily  efforts  make 
the  operation  and  the  many  functions  of  the  Perkins  School  for  the 
Blind  possible.  The  staff  has  a  spirit  of  commitment  which  is 
exceeded  by  few.  The  teaching  and  administration  staff,  as  well  as 
all  the  support  services,  continue  to  hold  to  very  high  standards  of 
service.  Without  all  their  efforts,  the  reputation  which  is  Perkins's 
would  be  greatly  diminished.

FINANCIAL 
STATEMENTS 


(For  the  year  ended  August  31, 1983) 


TREASURER'S  REPORT 

The  report  of  the  Treasurer  for  the  year  ended  August  31,  1983  is  submit- 
ted herewith.  The  accounts  of  the  Corporation  were  audited  by  Coopers  & 
Lybrand,  and  their  report  is  attached. 

Income  from  tuition  and  board  was  $3,857,300,  an  increase  of  $635,955 
over  last  year.  Enrollment  was  up  from  194  to  199,  and  our  gradually 
increasing  proportion  of  multi-handicapped  students  required  an  increase 
in  tuition  rates.  Investment  income  of  $2,258,130  was  $155,579  lower  than 
the  previous  year.  This  was  due  to  the  lower  interest  rates  obtained  on  our 
short-term  funds  and  to  the  use  of  substantial  amounts  of  Endowment 
funds  for  improvements  and  additions  to  our  Plant.  Total  income  from  all 
sources  was  $8,204,711,  including  Federal  Grants. 

Operating  expenses  were  $9,298,158  compared  to  $8,434,908  last  year,  an 
increase  of  $863,250.  Increases  in  higher  salaries,  health  insurance  and 
other  benefits,  and  social  security  taxes  totalled  $805,802.  Other  expenses 
increased  in  all  our  programs,  which  included  start-up  expenses  for  our 
Program  for  the  Severely  Impaired  for  which  we  were  not  reimbursed. 

Reducing  our  operating  expenses  substantially,  while  maintaining  the 
excellence  of  our  programs,  must  still  be  a  major  objective  of  the  Adminis- 
tration and  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

An  accounting  change  suggested  by  the  Auditors  to  reflect  Accrued 
Vacations  added  $130,000  to  Expenses,  so  that  the  total  Expenses  for  the 
year  of  $9,427,813  exceeded  Income  by  $1,223,102.  This  amount  was 
charged  $990,878  to  Unrestricted  Invested  Funds  and  $232,224  to  the  Prin- 
cipal of  the  Deaf-Blind  Fund.  In  the  prior  year  the  comparable  total  deficit 
was  $884,560. 

Total  Howe  Press  sales  showed  an  increase  of  $459,444  over  last  year. 
We  shipped  7,785  Braillers,  against  6,376  a  year  ago,  so  that  dollar  sales  of 
the  Perkins  Brailler  were  $2,328,303,  an  increase  of  $412,000.  Costs 
increased  less  showing  good  control,  resulting  in  a  net  operating  income  for 
the  Press  of  $313,233.  Investment  income  was  $90,383,  so  that  the  Press 
had  an  excess  of  income  over  expenses  of  $403,616  for  the  year. 

Respectully  submitted, 

John  W.  Bryant,  Treasurer

INDEPENDENT  CERTIFIED  PUBLIC 
ACCOUNTANTS'  REPORT 


To  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind: 

We  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  as 
of  August  31,  1983,  the  related  statement  of  current  funds  expenditures  and 
resources  used  to  meet  expenditures,  statement  of  income  and  expense  of 
The  Howe  Press  of  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  and  summary  of  changes 
in  fund  balances  for  the  year  then  ended.  Our  examination  was  made  in 
accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  and,  accordingly, 
included  such  tests  of  the  accounting  records  and  such  other  auditing 
procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We  previously 
examined  and  reported  upon  the  1982  financial  statements  of  the  School 
which  are  included  in  condensed  form  for  comparative  purposes  only. 

When  legacies  received  are  unrestricted  as  to  principal,  the  School  does 
not  consider  them  as  current  funds  resources  but  adds  them  directly  to 
funds  functioning  as  endowments  as  reflected  in  the  statement  of  changes 
in  fund  balances. 

In  our  opinion,  except  that  legacies  unrestricted  as  to  principal  have  not 
been  reflected  as  current  funds  resources,  the  aforementioned  financial 
statements  present  fairly  the  financial  position  of  Perkins  School  for  the 
Blind  at  August  31,  1983,  its  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  used 
to  meet  expenditures,  the  income  and  expense  of  The  Howe  Press  of 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  and  the  changes  in  its  fund  balances  for  the 
year  then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  princi- 
ples applied  on  a  basis  consistent  with  that  of  the  preceding  year. 

The  financial  statements  referred  to  in  the  foregoing  opinion  are  set  forth 
on  pages  2  to  8,  inclusive,  of  this  report.  Our  examination  was  made 
primarily  for  the  purpose  of  rendering  an  opinion  on  these  basic  financial 
statements,  taken  as  a  whole.  The  other  data  included  in  this  report  on 
pages  9  to  15,  although  not  considered  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of 
financial  position,  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  and  changes 
in  fund  balances,  are  presented  primarily  for  supplemental  analysis  pur- 
poses. This  additional  information  has  been  subjected  to  the  audit  proce- 
dures applied  in  the  examination  of  the  basic  financial  statements  and,  in 
our  opinion,  is  fairly  stated  in  all  material  respects  in  relation  to  the  basic 
financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.

A 

MESSAGE 
from  the 
PRESIDENT 


Richard  Carlson 


The  Trustees  at  Perkins  continue  to  be  committed  to 
the  delivery  of  comprehensive  and  reality-based  pro- 
grams for  a  wide-chronological  and  wide-functioning 
range  of  students  and  clients  both  on  the  Perkins 
Campus  and  off-campus  in  various  communities. 

In  this  Annual  Report  you  will  have  an  opportunity  to 
review  some  of  our  Outreach  and  Community-Based 
Services  that  include  the  development  of  programs  in  various  cities  and  towns,  as  well 
as  the  support  and  resource  services  that  Perkins  provides  to  many  professionals  who 
work  with  students  throughout  New  England. 

In  addition  to  supporting  quality  Instructional  and  Clinical  Services,  the  Trustees  are  also 
designing  a  comprehensive  and  accountable  plan  to  determine  the  future  scope  of 
services  at  Perkins.  With  this  in  mind,  the  Trustees  and  all  program  and  clinical 
supervisory  staff  have  spent  a  considerable  amount  of  time  this  past  year  studying  future 
trends  and  future  program  and  facility 
needs. 


We  are  very  pleased  with  the  results  of 
our  deliberations,  and  we  have  recently 
taken  the  next  step  in  our  planning 
process  by  engaging  the  services  of  a 
reputable  architectural  firm  from  Boston; 
namely  Shepley  Bulfinch,  Richardson,  and 
Abbott. 

The  Principal  and  Architect  who  have 
been  selected  will  work  very  closely  with 
the  Trustees,  administrative  staff,  and 
direct  service  staff  in  developing  a  Mas- 
terplan  for  our  Campus.  This  Masterplan 
will  address  all  program  and  facility  vari- 
2 


ables  and  the  end  result  will  have  a  posi- 
tive and  long-range  effect  for  the  students 
and  clients  we  serve,  and  for  all  of  our 
staff. 

This  past  school  year  has  been  a  very 
productive  one,  and  I  would  like  to  thank 
the  Trustees  and  all  of  the  staff  for  their 
continued  cooperation  and  their  on-going 
commitment  to  quality  services.  I  also 
look  to  the  future  with  much  optimism  as 
we  all  begin  a  thorough  and  detailed 
Masterplan  for  our  programs  and  facilities. 


MESSAGE 

from  the 

DIRECTOR 


Charles  C.  Woodcock 


My  official  responsibilities  as  Director  end  on  December 
31,  1984,  when  I  will  be  retiring.  However,  it  is  not 
possible  to  be  a  part  of  something  as  dynamic  as 
Perkins  for  seven-plus  years  and  to  walk  off  and  leave 
it  without  further  interest  and  concern. 

Naturally,  I  do  not  worry  about  the  future  of  the  School, 
as  I  know  it  will  be  well  managed.  The  dedication  of  the 
trustees,  staff,  and  alumni  will  continue.  There  will  be  many  more  "vintage  years." 

The  task  left  for  me,  in  my  no-official-responsibility  status,  will  be  to  determine  the  small 
ways  in  which  I  can  still  make  a  contribution.  This  I  plan  to  do  as  I  continue  to  educate 
others  about  the  history  and  current  mission  of  the  school. 

I  urge  each  reader  of  this  report  to  find  a  way  to  join  those  who  provide  Perkins  with 
such  wonderful  support,  or  to  increase  his  or  her  efforts  if  already  a  supporter  of  the 
School.  This  is  important  for  the  future  of  all  those  who  are  the  recipients  of  the 
superb  services  offered  at  Perkins.

"Among  other  things,  we  learned

the  weekend  very  helpful. "

the  students  can  extend  well  beyon

school." 


Families  and  teachers  of  the 
students  are  invited  to  a 
presentation  at  the  conclu- 
sion of  a  'Teen  Weekend'  si 
that  they  might  have  an 
opportunity  to  offer  support  and 
exchange  resources  among 
themselves. 


erkins'  Community  Outreach  provides  direct 
services  to  blind  and  visually  impaired  public 
school  students  and  their  parents.  Junior 
and  senior  high  school  blind  and  visually 
impaired  students  have  been  mainstreamed 

jo  public  schools  throughout  the  U.S.  for  decades. 

jrtainly,  integration  into  public  classrooms  is  a 

iwerful  way  of  addressing  many  issues  for  blind  and 

.ually  impaired  adolescents 


t  there  are  limitations. 


address  these  limitations,  Perkins'  Community 
itreach  program  developed  the  'Teen  Weekend' 
ncept.  Groups  of  seven  to  fifteen  mainstreamed 
idents  from  throughout  New  England  gather  together 
a  weekend  of  seminars  and  recreation  at  Perkins. 
1  seminars  tackle  subjects  of  concern  to  blind  and 
ually  impaired  teenagers:  communicating  with 
n-disabled  peers;  coping  strategies  within  integrated 
ssrooms;  and  realistic  expectations  about  inde- 
ndence  and  career  options. 

e  involve  the  students  in  activities  of  self  aware- 


"Among  other  things,"  explains 
fourteen-year-old  Earl  MacDougall 
of  East  Hartford,  Connecticut,  "we 
learned  how  to  cope  with  kids 
who  bother  us . . .  who  don't  under 
stand  about  our  blindness.  That, 
alone,  made  the  weekend  very  hel| 
ful. 

"But  we  learned  a  lot  of  other 
things,  too.  Like  how  to  spend  our 
leisure  time  wisely.  And  I  made  a 
lot  of  new  friends.  I  just  know  we'll 
keep  in  touch. 


"It  was  wonderful. 
Mainly  because 
I'll  be  able  to  use 
a  lot  of  what  I 
learned  at  Perkins 
when  I  get  back 
home  and  back 
to  school.  I  can't 
wait  to  go  back  to 
Perkins  again." 


"Increasingly,"  says  Ken,  "our  research  library  is 
being  used  as  a  source  of  reference  by  persons  oth 
than  Perkins  teachers,  clinicians,  and  other  profes- 
sional staff." 


e  Samuel  P.  Hayes  Research 
rrary  and  Museum  on  Blind- 

ss  collects  all  available  materials 
out  the  non-medical  aspects  of 
ndness  and  deaf-blindness.  In 
iition,  the  research  library  houses  a 
isenm  on  the  history  of  the  blind 
d  deaf-blind,  a  historic  collection  of 
'bossed  books  for  the  blind,  and 
'  archives  of  the  Perkins  School  for 
•  Blind. 


For  the  last  twenty  years,  Ken 
Stuckey  has  overseen  the 
largest  collection  of  its  kind 
in  the  world— 18,000  volumes 
of  material  about  the  non- 
jdical  aspects  of  blindness  and 
af-blindness. 

n  receives  more  than  2,000 
luiries  each  year-inquiries  rang- 
3  from  elementary  age  school 
ildren  seeking  information  about 
Helen  Keller, 
braille,  and  how 
blind  persons  are 
educated,  to  ser- 
ious researchers 
from  around  the 
world  seeking  the 
latest  bibliogra- 
phies and  in- 
depth  materials 
about  their  par- 
ticular focus  on 
ndness  and  deaf-blindness. 


Parents,  for  example,  whose  children  are  being  evali 
ated  or  educated  at  Perkins  use  the  research  library 
as  a  source  of  information  about  how  they  themselvi 
might  assist  their  children's  development. 

"But  the  most  frequent  users  of  our  library,"  adds 
Ken,  "are  college  students  who  are  studying  for 
master's  degrees  in  the  field  of  blindness  and  deaf- 
blindness.  They  need  to  study  the  latest  materials  in 
an  accessible  form. 

"We  have  a  great  responsibility  here:  Not  only  to 
maintain  this  wonderful  collection  of  special  knowl- 
edge, but  to  see  to  it  that  it's  kept  as  up-to-date  as 
possible." 

"That's  very  important  to  me,"  explains  Boston  Colle 
graduate  student,  Rosanne  Murphy.  "I  can  always  bt 
sure  that  required  readings  from  various  profession! 

journals  are  available I  can  reserve  special  books 

that  you  just  can't  find  in  most  other  libraries Ant 

the  library  staff  are  always  willing  to  be  helpful. 
They're  very  knowledgeable  and  really  seem  to  enjo 
what  they  do." 

In  her  free  moments,  Rosanne  finds  the  biography 
section  of  the  library  "particularly  interesting."  She 
also  enjoys  reading  old— "Sometimes  antique!"-texts 
about  teaching  the  blind  and  deaf-blind. 


"But  perhaps,"  she  concludes,  "I  most  enjoy  the 
small  study  loft  in  the  library.  I  can  claim  a  desk  anc 
study  undisturbed  for  hours.  That's  a  big  plus  for  a 
grad  student  like  me." 


"The  graduate  students  we  help 
today  will  he  the  educators  of  the 
blind  and  deaf-blind  tomorrow"

REPORT 
of  the 
DIRECTOR 
to  the 
CORPORATION 


I 


ecause  my  tenure  as  director  will  come  to  an  end  on 
December  31 ,  1 984,  it  seems  appropriate  that  this 
annual  report  serve  not  only  as  a  summary  of  the 
1983-84  school  year,  but  also  as  a  report  on  the  period 
of  my  directorship,  from  July  1,  1977  to  the  present. 
I  believe  that  every  director  of  this  school  has  stated 
that  the  Perkins  of  the  last  year  of  his  tenure  was 
certainly  different  from  the  Perkins  of  the  first.  This  is  as 
it  should  be.  The  school  has  been  able  to  provide  expert  leadership  in  the  field  of 
sducation  to  the  blind  and  otherwise  impaired  by  sensing  the  needs  of  the  present  and 
future,  and  adjusting  its  programs  to  meet  those  needs. 

Iwo  years  ago  I  presented  you  with  a  report  of  my  five  years  as  director  of  the  school.  In 
hat  report,  I  listed  seven  areas  in  which  I  felt  accomplishments  had  been  made  in  the 
services  offered  by  the  school.  I  also  listed  seven  goals  that  I  felt  the  school  should  work 
:o  accomplish  in  the  next  five  years.  Not  surprisingly,  the  accomplishments  and  goals 
losely  paralleled  each  other. 


would  like  now  to  reexamine  those  goals 
and  point  out  the  areas  in  which  I  feel 
hey  have  been  achieved.  In  doing  this,  I 
to  not  mean  to  imply  that  no  more  work 
leed  be  done,  for  as  long  as  there  is  a 
3erkins  School  for  the  Blind  there  will 
always  be  a  need  to  alter  programs  to 
conform  to  the  needs  of  society. 

n  my  report  of  1 982,  the  first  goal  which 
listed  was  that  of  studying  new  programs 
o  determine  their  applicability  to  Perkins. 
)ne  means  of  doing  this  is  to  find  an  area 
)f  need,  secure  a  grant,  and  to  test  the 
project  for  the  duration  of  the  grant.  If  the 
>roject  is  successful,  then  it  can  be 
icorporated  into  the  array  of  services 
>ffered. 

i  this  regard,  we  have  accomplished 
nuch.  The  administration  and  procurement 
»f  most  of  our  grants  is  coordinated 
hrough  our  grants  office,  in  tandem  with 
>rogram  supervisors.  For  three  years, 
re  administered  an  Infant-Toddler  grant 
/hich  now  has  become  a  part  of  our 


Preschool  Services  program.  In  the  Deaf- 
Blind  Program,  we  have  been  looking  to 
find  services  for  a  population  which  will 
soon  be  beyond  school-age.  This  effort 
has  resulted  in  three  grants: 

•  Project  ADVANCE 

•  Prevocational  and  Vocational  Training 

•  Total  Life  Planning 

In  addition,  we  continue  to  administer 
the  New  England  Center  for  Deaf-Blind 
Services,  which  has  coordinated  the 
delivery  of  services  to  the  deaf-blind  of 
the  region  for  over  fifteen  years.  For 
adult  clients,  we  have  recently  received 
two  grants  which  will  help  enable  blind 
persons  to  be  employed  in  the  private 
sector.  These  are  Project  with  Industry 
and  Occupational  Training  for  the  Blind. 

The  second  goal  that  I  listed  in  my  fifth 
annual  report  was  that  Perkins  should 
develop  those  programs  which  it  felt  was 


13 


appropriate.  In  this  area,  also,  there  has 
been  significant  progress.  The  former 
Infant-Toddler  grant  and  the  regular  Pre- 
school Program  for  children  ages  3-5 
have  been  consolidated  into  Preschool 
Services.  Likewise,  Junior/Senior  High 
(formerly  Upper  School)  and  Special 
Programs  have  been  joined  into  Second- 
ary Services. 

Two  new  projects,  the  Pioneer  Market 
and  the  Thomas  Anthony  Pappas  Green- 
house, provide  opportunities  for  voca- 
tional instruction,  primarily  to  those  stu- 
dents in  the  Secondary  and  Deaf-Blind 
programs.  For  other  school-age  students, 
two  new  programs  have  been  developed. 
The  Program  for  the  Severely  Impaired 
provides  intensive  training  in  a  cottage 
atmosphere  for  a  more  severely  impaired 
population  than  Perkins  has  ever  before 
served. 

At  the  other  end  of  the  spectrum,  our 
Outreach  Services  provides  support  ser- 
vices for  itinerant  teachers  in  the  public 
school  system  and  workshops  for  "main- 
streamed"  blind  public  school  students. 

For  our  adult  clients,  Perkins  has  increas- 
ingly focused  its  attention  on  providing 
community  living  experiences.  We  have 
purchased  several  houses  and  have  estab- 
lished cooperative  arrangements  with  the 
Watertown  Housing  Authority  and  HUD. 
We  are  now  operating  community  resi- 
dences for  clients  at  various  functioning 
levels  and  will  be  opening  up  more  in  the 
near  future.  For  a  number  of  years, 
Perkins  has  been  programming  for  head- 
injured  clients.  This  meets  a  tremendous 
need  in  that  there  are  still  very  few  post- 
medical  rehabilitation  programs  for  the 
head-injured  in  our  area. 

The  third  goal  which  I  mentioned  was  that 
staff  should  be  allowed  to  develop  and 
grow.  I  am  pleased  to  report  that  this 
growth  takes  place  in  a  manner  which 
has  benefits  for  students  as  well  as  staff, 
for  Perkins  as  a  whole,  and-beyond 
Perkins-for  others  in  the  field. 

First,  the  services  provided  to  students 
are  offered  through  a  team  approach. 
Each  student  has  an  individualized  educa- 
tion or  service  plan  which  is  developed 
by  a  team  of  program  supervisors,  teach- 

14 


ers,  clinicians,  residential  and  direct  care  pi 
staff,  funding  agents,  parents,  and  some-  |) 
times  the  student  or  client.  No  longer  are 
any  services  provided  in  isolation.  This 
educational  approach  gives  staff  an  oppor- 
tunity to  learn  much  about  all  fields 
represented  at  the  school.  All  the  compo- 
nents of  the  educational  program  have 
been  put  under  the  able  supervision  of 
the  assistant  director.  Once  again,  no 
program  is  autonomous,  thereby  ensurincfe 
a  consistent  educational  approach. 


pc 


The  personnel  function  of  Perkins  has 
been  put  into  a  central  department.  Per- 
kins's employees  now  enjoy  an  improved 
pension  plan,  new  medical  insurance 
options,  dental  insurance,  and  several 
other  fringe  benefits.  This  makes  the 
recruitment  and  retention  of  staff  easier. 

Perkins  has  been  better  able  to  develop 
its  standing  in  the  field  due  to  the  efforts 
of  an  intensified  public  relations  and 
publications  department.  Also,  the  charter 
amendment  authorized  by  the  corpora- 
tion two  years  ago  has  allowed  Perkins  to 
develop  programs  which  aid  both  the 
non-visually  and  visually  impaired. 


ic 


With  support  from  Perkins,  knowledge  in  f)8! 
the  field  of  blindness  has  been  extended 
in  several  ways.  Locally,  studies  have  beerjipa 
conducted  of  agencies  serving  the  blind,  jeen 
and  efforts  are  on-going  to  attempt  to 
achieve  a  mix  of  services  appropriate  to  lei 
the  needs  of  consumers.  One  example  of 
this  is  that  the  Howe  Press  turned  over 
its  braille  production  to  the  National  Braille 
Press.  Also,  the  increase  in  services 
offered  by  the  Teacher  Education  Prograrrfipai 
will  result  in  additional  teachers  of  the 
blind,  especially  in  third  world  nations 
where  the  need  is  greatest,  and  will 
create  opportunites  for  blind  children 
worldwide. 


es 


The  fourth  goal  which  I  listed  was  to 
restore  and  refurbish  the  school's  physics; 
plant.  This  goal  has  occupied  much  of 
my  time  and  remains  a  task  which  will 
require  the  attention  of  future  directors. 
A  number  of  cost-saving  changes  were 
made  during  my  tenure.  The  most  notabh 
of  these  was  the  energy  audit  and  grant 
which  was  awarded  to  enable  the  school|e 
to  put  up  storm  windows,  to  convert  its 
heating  system  to  a  low-pressure  one,  to 


ice  temperature  control  devices  in  the 
;tem  so  that  heat  was  not  wasted,  and 
place  individual  hot  water  heaters  in 
s  cottages  so  that  the  boiler  system 
uld  be  shut  down  during  the  summer, 
o,  a  new  telephone  system  was  installed 
the  school  which  resulted  in  both  an 
dated  and  efficient  system  and  substan- 
cost  savings  for  the  school. 

)  were  also  successful  in  hiring  an 
;hitect  as  the  facilities  manager  and 
ide  facilities  directly  reportable  to  the 
actor.  These  moves  enabled  us  to  create 
ig-range  plans  for  the  physical  plant. 

ring  the  spring  of  1983,  we  commis- 
ned  a  construction  company  to  survey 
;  school's  plant  and  indicate  what  reno- 
ions  would  be  necessary  to  bring  it 
ck  to  its  original  condition.  We  are  now 
the  process  of  deciding  which  rehabil- 
:ions  should  be  carried  out  and  what 
ildings  might  have  outlived  their  use- 
ness  from  both  a  programmatic  and 
lintenance  point  of  view.  These  deci- 
ns  will  have  long-term  implications 
d  require  careful  study. 

e  next  goal  that  I  listed  in  my  report  of 
82  was  that  of  making  the  campus 
•re  accessible  to  those  with  physical 
pairments.  In  this  regard,  we  have 
en  quite  successful.  As  you  can  see 
oughout  the  campus,  ramps  have 
en  built,  roadways  have  been  regraded 
eliminate  steps,  and  curbs  have  been 
t.  In  addition,  many  doors  have  been 
jened  and  bathrooms  and  kitchens 
nverted  to  enable  orthopedically- 
paired  students  and  clients  to  use  the 
nod's  facilities.  The  largest  addition 
our  accessibility  project  has  been  the 
ol/gym  access  project  which  connects 
my  leveis  of  the  Howe  Building  and 
iletic  facilities  by  elevator. 

e  sixth  goal  listed  was  to  strengthen 
s  school's  financial  structure.  The  bur- 
•'s  office  had  many  of  its  ancillary 
;ponsibilities  put  under  the  supervision 
the  director's  office,  so  that  the  new 
ance  office  could  focus  on  financial 
tiers.  In  addition,  the  operation  of  the 
siness  office  has  been  enhanced  by 
j  of  a  computer  service  so  that  the 
vroll  and  school  accounts  can  be 
:ked  efficiently  and  on  a  timely  basis. 


The  new  business  office  issues  many 
more  checks  than  previously  and  over- 
sees the  finances  of  both  the  school 
and  Howe  Press. 

A  development  office  has  been  added  to 
the  school,  and  this  has  resulted  in  a 
sharp  increase  in  the  donations  received 
through  the  annual  appeal  and  also  in 
the  school's  increased  ability  to  receive 
foundation  grants  for  special  projects 
such  as  the  greenhouse  and  the  pool/gym 
access  project.  Another  valued  contribu- 
tion to  our  development  effort  is  the 
service  of  a  highly  qualified  volunteer  in 
organizing  a  corporate  advisory  commit- 
tee for  the  funding  of  community  resi- 
dence programs. 

The  final  goal  that  I  mentioned  in  the 
annual  report  of  1 982  was  to  restructure 
the  Howe  Press  so  that  it  might  move 
forward  with  new  marketing,  new  products, 
and  more  profitability.  I  have  mentioned 
our  turning  over  the  Howe  Press's  brailling 
production  to  the  National  Braille  Press. 
This  move  has  allowed  us  to  focus  more 
on  manufacturing  appliances  for  the 
blind.  At  present,  the  Howe  Press  is  mar- 
keting several  new  products  which  are 
useful  to  large  print  and  braille  readers 
and  which  supplement,  rather  than 
supplant,  the  use  of  a  Perkins  Brailler. 
Management  of  the  Howe  Press  will  be 
structured  to  allow  for  increased  produc- 
tivity and  a  new  emphasis  on  marketing 
the  products  made  or  distributed  by  that 
organization. 

When  I  came  to  Perkins  in  1977,  much 
needed  to  be  done.  The  same  is  true 
today.  This  doesn't  mean  that  Perkins 
has  not  moved  forward  during  my  tenure 
here.  It  means  that  I  have  found,  as  has 
every  director  before  me,  that  the  school 
is  in  a  constant  state  of  transition— and 
that  successful  transition  in  a  changing 
society  is  what  has  enabled  Perkins 
School  for  the  Blind  to  remain  at  the 
forefront  in  the  field  of  special  education 
throughout  its  history.  I  have  full  confi- 
dence in  its  future. 

The  reports  that  follow  are  written  by 
various  program  and  department  supervi- 
sors. Reading  these  should  give  a  clear 
indication  of  the  quality  of  their  endeavors.

During  the  school  year  1983-84  we  continued  to 
spend  a  considerable  amount  of  time  analyzing  our 
service  delivery  system  for  students  and  clients  in  all  of 
our  on-  and  off-campus  programs. 

Each  program  further  developed  its  interdisciplinary 
task  forces  as  they  met  regularly  to  plan  program  service: 
We  continue  providing  services  with  a  well-trained, 
dedicated,  and  resourceful  staff. 
I  would  personally  like  to  thank  the  supervisory  and  administrative  staff  for  their 
commitment  and  long  hours  of  work;  the  teachers,  assistant  teachers,  and  teacher  aides 
who  provide  direct  services  on  a  daily  basis;  the  clinical  staff  who  provide  consultation 
and  direct  services;  the  houseparents  and  residence  managers  who  oversee  the  multiple 
demands  of  a  cottage  program;  the  child  care  workers  who  organize  and  follow  through 
on  numerous  on-campus  and  off-campus  activities;  and  the  secretarial  staff  who  interact 
so  effectively  with  other  school  personnel  and  a  large  number  of  people  outside  Perkins, 
such  as  parents,  funding  agents,  and  licensing  personnel. 


I  would  also  like  to  thank  all  of  the  support 
services  which  assist  the  Programs  on  a 
daily  basis. 

We  continue  to  work  with  the  Watertown 
Housing  Authority  and  the  Massachu- 
setts Commission  for  the  Blind  on  the 
development  of  three  off-campus  houses 
as  part  of  our  Community  Living  Services 
program  for  multi-impaired  blind  and 
deaf-blind  students  and  clients.  We  have 
placed  nine  individuals  in  the  Arsenal 
Apartments  on  Arsenal  Street  in  Water- 
town,  and  we  are  serving  eight  clients  in  a 
Perkins-owned  house  on  Beechwood 
Street  in  Watertown. 

We  continue  to  operate  our  Occupational 
Training  for  the  Blind  Program  in  con- 
junction with  the  Massachusetts  Commis- 
sion for  the  Blind.  It  is  our  goal  to  develop 
relevant  and  creative  vocational  training 
programs  for  blind  adults  within  business 
and  industry.  We  have  also  received  a 
Project  with  Industry  Grant  which  will 
increase  the  number  of  vocational  training 
options  for  blind  adults  who  are  unem- 
ployed and  underemployed. 


We  operated  summer  sessions  during 
July,  1984,  in  the  Preschool,  Primary 
and  Intermediate,  Deaf-Blind,  Adult 
Services,  and  Secondary  Services  pro 
grams.  Over  1 60  students  and  clients 
were  served  during  the  five-week  period, 
some  of  whom  were  students  enrolled  in 
public  school  programs  during  the 
regular  school  year. 

We  hope  to  be  able  to  provide  more 
direct  and  indirect  services  to  public 
school  students  and  their  families  during 
the  school  year  1984-85,  as  we  continue 
to  expand  our  "outreach  service"  possibili 
ties.  We  will  work  closely  with  personnel 
from  the  Division  of  Special  Education, 
itinerant  teachers,  and  staff  from  other 
schools  in  Massachusetts  and  other 
States.

PRESCHOOL 
SERVICES 


D! 


uring  the  1983-84  school  year,  the  Preschool 
Services  program,  which  serves  children  from  birth 
through  six  years  of  age,  experienced  an  exciting  year 
of  growth  and  development.  Both  the  Infant/  Toddler 
(birth-3  years  of  age)  and  the  Preschool  Program  (3-6 
years  of  age)  saw  an  expansion  of  services  in  an  effort  to 
meet  the  growing  number  of  visually  impaired  and 
multi-handicapped  children  within  the  birth-six  age  range 
statewide. 

The  Preschool  Services  staff  is  composed  of  four  teachers,  two  teacher  assistants,  a 
social  worker,  a  program  supervisor,  a  secretary,  and  a  team  of  clinical  service  person- 
nel (physical  therapy,  occupational  therapy,  behavioral  psychologist,  and  a  speech  and 
language  therapist)  who  work  together  as  a  multi-disciplinary  unit  to  provide  comprehen- 
sive services  to  children  and  their  families.  A  stable  corps  of  volunteers  rounds  out  the 
staff  and  offers  the  additional  coverage  and  attention  so  often  needed  by  the  children. 

Although  their  common  goal  is  to  provide  comprehensive  services  for  the  children  and 
families  in  the  Preschool  Services  program,  the  Infant/Toddler  (birth-3)  and  the  Preschool 


units  (3-6)  employ  two  different  service 
models. 

The  Infant/Toddler  Unit  is  essentially  a 
home-based  program;  i.e.,  services  are 
provided  by  teachers  to  the  children  and 
their  families  on  a  weekly  or  bi-weekly 
basis  within  the  family's  home.  Parents 
and  teachers  become  partners  in  facili- 
tating and  formulating  an  ongoing  devel- 
opmental program  for  the  individual  child 
within  the  context  of  his  or  her  home 
environment.  One  day  per  week,  parents 
and  children  do,  however,  also  come 
together  at  Perkins  for  a  "School  Day." 
During  this  two-hour  block  of  time,  the 
children  are  provided  with  a  variety  of 
learning  and/or  diagnostic  activities  both 
with  the  teachers  and  clinical  support 
staff.  "School  Day"  notes  are  kept  and 
later  shared  with  parents  during  consul- 
tation time  or  on  the  home  visit.  While  the 
children  are  engaged  in  their  activities,  a 
parent  support  group,  coordinated  by  the 
social  worker,  meets  to  share  emotional, 
developmental,  and  educational  concerns. 
Finally,  an  evening  parent  meeting  is 
held  once  a  month  to  allow  both  parents 
to  attend  and  learn  about  a  variety  of 
educational  topics.  During  the  1983-84 
school  year,  the  Infant/Toddler  Unit 
expanded  its  services  from  1 2  children  to 
an  ongoing  caseload  of  20  direct  ser- 
vices students.  Over  the  course  of  the 


year,  nine  students  in  the  program  reached 
age  three  and  were  aided  to  transfer 
successfully  into  preschool  programs.  A 
significant  area  of  program  growth  was 
in  the  area  of  our  outreach  services.  The 
program  served  as  a  community  resource 
in  the  provision  of  inservice  training, 
consultation,  and  student  assessments 
both  to  individuals  and  families  through 
collaborative  efforts  with  five  other  early 
intervention  programs. 

The  Preschool  Unit  (3-6  years)  offers  a 
combination  of  both  center-based  and 
home-based  teaching.  The  children 
come  to  Perkins  on  a  daily  basis  for  a 
half-day  school  program  at  the  Preschool 
House.  During  this  time,  the  teachers, 
assistants  and  clinical  support  staff  work 
as  a  team  to  foster  student  development 
as  defined  by  each  child's  individualized 
needs. 

On  a  bi-weekly  basis  in  the  afternoon,  the 
teachers  provide  home  visiting  services 
to  the  children  and  their  families.  The 
home-based  emphasis,  again,  centers 
upon  involving  parents  as  an  integral  part 
in  defining  their  child's  educational 
program  and  therefore  offers  optimal  con- 
sistency between  home  and  school  activ- 
ities in  fostering  their  child's  development. 
During  the  1983-84  year,  the  Preschool 
Unit's  enrollment  rose  from  three  to  six 

17 


children,  and  the  number  of  referrals 
has  shown  a  steady  increase. 

Through  staff  efforts,  the  Preschool  Parent 
Group  was  rejuvenated  and  has  begun 
to  meet  on  a  monthly  basis  for  both 
parent  support  and  informational  ex- 
change. Outreach  services  also  signifi- 
cantly expanded,  with  inservices  being 
provided  to  three  outside  agencies  and 
with  functional  vision  and/or  educational 
evaluations  and  recommendations  being 
performed  for  a  total  of  21  children  ages 
birth  through  two  years. 

One  exciting  event  which  occurred  in 
April  of  this  past  year  was  the  New 
England  Seminar  for  Families  of  Visually 
Handicapped  Preschool  Children  (ages 
birth-seven  years).  The  conference,  en- 
titled "Taking  Care  of  Our  Children  . . . 
Taking  Care  of  Ourselves,"  had  as  its 
theme  the  development  of  parent- 
professional  partnerships  in  providing 
coordinated  services  to  visually  impaired 
preschool  children.  The  conference 
committee  was  composed  of  such  a  part- 
nership of  parents  and  professionals 
from  six  New  England  states.  Approxi- 


mately one  hundred  parents  attended 
the  day-long  session  and  child  care 
services  were  provided  for  both  visually 
impaired  children  and  their  sighted 
brothers  and  sisters.  Perkins  School  for 
the  Blind  was  the  conference  site,  and 
two  members  of  the  Perkins  Preschool 
Services  program  served  on  the  confer- 
ence committee. 

In  the  1984-85  school  year,  the  Preschool 
Services  program  looks  forward  to 
another  exciting  year  of  growth  and 
development.  Some  programmatic  goals 
include  space  adaptations  within  the 
Preschool  House  and  Infant/Toddler  area 
to  allow  for  even  more  effective  program- 
ming; construction  of  a  Preschool  play- 
ground; exploration  of  outside  funding 
for  the  Infant/Toddler  Unit;  the  expansion 
of  outreach  services;  the  formation  of  a 
sibling  support  group;  and  active  support 
of  the  second  New  England  Seminar  for 
Families  of  Visually  Impaired  Preschool 
Children  (ages  birth  through  seven  years).

D! 


uring  the  1983-84  school  year  the  Primary  and 
Intermediate  Program  served  39  students  in  ten  class- 
rooms. This  number  represents  a  drop  in  student 
population  of  three  from  the  previous  year.  All  classes 
continued  to  receive  either  part-time  or  full-time  aide 
services  from  the  houseparent  staff.  The  effective  ratio  of 
about  2  to  1,  while  quite  intensive,  is  necessary  to 
ensure  a  complete  and  thorough  program  of  academics, 
daily  living  skills,  motor  development  skills,  pre- 
vocational  skills,  and  a  number  of  other  essential  skill  development  areas. 

Through  the  efforts  of  several  teachers  a  fully  stocked  and  organized  pre-vocational 
area  began  operation.  Some  classes  used  the  area  (located  in  the  old  woodworking  shop) 
on  a  daily  basis  as  a  model  shop  with  a  time  clock  and  production  quotas.  Others  used 


1ft 


the  material  resources  to  learn  job-like  tasks  in  the  regular  classroom.  Future  expansion 
of  this  area  is  likely  as  we  prepare  students  for  the  higher  level  offerings  in  the  upper 
grades. 


This  school  year  also  saw  the  completion 
of  the  Lower  School  instructional  kitchen 
located  in  the  space  formerly  occupied 
by  the  library.  Complete  with  microwave 
oven  and  dishwasher,  the  students  will  be 
able  to  learn  about  every  aspect  of  a 
modern  kitchen  while  they  learn  to  cook. 

Approximately  one-fourth  of  the  students 
are  now  able  to  take  typing  in  the  Lower 
School,  and  a  typing  room  has  been  set 
up  for  that  specific  purpose.  In  addition 
we  are  endeavoring  to  expand  our  com- 
puter resources  and  expertise  to  serve 
more  and  more  students. 

During  the  school  year  the  Program 
began  a  cooperative  venture  with  the 
Somerville  public  school  system,  wherein 
one  of  our  teachers  provided  itinerant 
services  to  four  Somerville  elementary 
students  in  their  own  schools.  Using 
Perkins  resources  and  having  the  use  of 
Clinical  Services  personnel  and  others  as 
potential  consultants,  this  arrangement 
has  an  excellent  possibility  of  expanding 
in  the  future.  In  addition  to  this  outreach 
effort,  a  Boston  Public  School  student 
took  part  in  several  recreational  activi- 
ties in  the  Lower  School  on  Wednesday 
afternoons  and  evenings.  This  very  suc- 
cessful experiment  was  supported  finan- 
cially by  the  Lions  Club,  which  has 
always  been  a  strong  advocate  for  ser- 
vices to  the  visually  impaired. 

The  Lower  School  Parents'  Group  had 
another  successful  year  and  met  regu- 
larly each  month  as  a  support  group,  as 
well  as  to  benefit  the  school  in  general. 
Proceeds  from  the  sale  of  cookbooks  has 
given  financial  stability  to  the  group  and 
has  allowed  it  to  directly  benefit  supple- 
mental student  needs.  The  project  was 
run  entirely  by  the  parents,  and  it  was 
highly  successful.  Also  we  continue  our 
tradition  of  having  two,  week-long  Parents' 
Open  Houses.  Both  attracted  a  large 
percentage  of  parents  to  the  school  to 
observe  their  children  in  classes. 


students,  outside  opportunities  such  as 
horseback  riding  and  the  yearly  week-long 
trip  to  Cape  Cod  and  the  National 
Seashore  have  guaranteed  an  extensive 
and  diverse  program  for  younger  children. 
Mobility,  music,  arts  and  crafts  and 
physical  education  all  had  special  activi- 
ties, programs  and/or  performances  to 
highlight  their  year. 

Social  services,  psychological,  speech, 
physical  and  occupational  therapies,  and 
educational  consultation  continue  to  main- 
tain a  high-level  support  and  direction  for 
the  students  and  staff. 

Daily  living  skills  instruction  was  provided 
in  the  cottages  by  the  houseparent  staff 
and  in  many  cases  it  was  supplemented 
in  the  classroom,  since  consistent  rein- 
forcement of  learned  skills  has  been  a 
chief  goal  of  the  program.  Houseparents 
and  child  care  workers  have  always 
been  and  continue  to  be  one  of  the  keys 
to  success  of  this  and  all  programs. 

This  year  also  marked  the  third  consecu- 
tive year  in  which  two  teachers  success- 
fully job-shared  in  one  of  the  classes. 

It  is  unfortunate  in  some  ways  that  while 
the  variety  and  quality  of  services  to  our 
students  is  continuing  to  grow,  the  num- 
ber of  students  who  profit  on  a  full-  or 
part-time  basis  is  beginning  to  decrease. 
Regardless,  every  effort  will  be  made  to 
continue  to  offer  the  highest  quality  of 
programming  available.

SECONDARY 
SERVICES 


The  Secondary  Services  program  served  seventy- 
three  students  during  the  1983-84  school  year. 
Although  enrollment  remained  about  the  same  as  in 
previous  years,  the  needs,  limitations  and  capabilities 
of  the  students  varied  more  widely  Enrollment  of  multi- 
handicapped  students  without  visual  impairments 
increased,  as  did  the  number  of  day  students.  The 
number  of  students  requiring  personal  care  aides  and 
small  class  size  also  increased.  As  a  result,  the  number 

of  staff  increased,  new  positions  were  created,  the  range  of  services  expanded,  and  a 

larger  number  of  individualized  programs  were  provided. 

Students  and  staff  adjusted  well  to  the  program  merger  of  Junior/Senior  High  and  Special 
Programs  which  occurred  in  the  summer  of  1983.  Consolidation  of  the  program  in  the 
west  side  of  the  Howe  Building  and  in  the  west  close  proved  beneficial.  Unfortunately,  a 
few  classes  remained  on  the  east  side  of  the  Howe  Building  due  to  lack  of  space. 
Two  new  positions  were  created  to  help  manage  the  program.  One  staff  member  was 


assigned  the  responsibility  of  training, 
scheduling,  and  monitoring  the  personal 
care  aides  and  working  with  the  program 
supervisor  to  administer  the  residential 
component  of  Secondary  Services. 
Another  staff  member  was  placed  at 
Watertown  High  School  to  consult  with 
the  teachers  there,  tutor  the  Perkins 
secondary  students  enrolled  in  Watertown 
High  courses,  and  offer  other  services 
that  either  the  secondary  students  or 
Watertown  High  students  needed. 

Secondary  Services  continued  to  offer 
an  ungraded  Junior  High  School  program 
for  its  younger  students  and  graded  and 
ungraded  programs  for  its  high  school- 
age  students.  In  addition  to  academics, 
the  pre-vocational,  independent  living,  and 
social  areas  were  emphasized  for  all 
students.  English  as  a  Second  Language 
was  added  to  the  curriculum  to  meet  the 
needs  of  students  who  had  recently 
entered  the  country  with  limited  command 
of  English.  Watertown  High  School  con- 
tinued to  accept  students  for  mainstream- 
ing  experiences.  Secondary  students 
enrolled  in  twenty-six  courses  at  Water- 
town  High.  The  program  of  "live-ins" 
continued.  Students  participated  in  "live- 
ins"  in  Keller-Sullivan,  Bennett  and 
Fisher.  Various  types  of  supervision  were 
available  to  students  after  they  completed 
their  Perkins  programs. 


The  Secondary  Services  pre-vocational 
program  continued  to  emphasize  explo- 
ration, skill  building,  and  work  experience. 
Three  on-campus  programs  (work  activi- 
ties, caning  and  sales)  operated  as  small 
businesses  to  give  students  appropriate 
pre-vocational  experiences. 

The  largest  of  these,  Work  Activities, 
served  99  students,  an  increase  of 
30.2%.  Gross  income  from  contracts 
changed  from  $13,392  in  the  previous 
school  year  to  $19,747,  an  increase  of 
47.5%.  Student  and  client  wages  totalled 
$9,699,  an  increase  of  36%.  Fifteen  stu- 
dents were  also  served  at  Howe  Press, 
which  has  a  Work  Satellite  certificate. 

Three  Secondary  Services  students  and 
one  student  from  the  Deaf-Blind  Program 
were  chosen  to  participate  in  the  "Close- 
Up  Project",  a  week-long  educational  field 
trip  to  Washington,  D.C.  Annually,  the 
Project  brings  a  cross-section  of  U.S. 
high  school  students  to  Washington 
where  they  meet  their  representatives  in 
Congress,  attend  seminars  and  discus- 
sion groups  on  the  problems  of  govern- 
ment, listen  to  speakers  from  various 
branches  and  agencies  of  the  government, 
tour  the  Capital  buildings,  and  assess 
government  first-hand.  It  also  allows  stu- 
dents from  different  regions  of  the  country 


to  mix,  socialize,  and  exchange  ideas. 
Training  for  teachers  is  also  provided. 
One  teacher  from  the  secondary  program 
was  able  to  take  advantage  of  that  oppor- 
tunity. The  project  was  considered  an 
ideal  civics  program.  It  was  well  received 
by  the  secondary  students  and  staff. 
The  secondary  project  has  been  asked  to 
send  representatives  to  the  Project  again 
this  year. 

The  Secondary  Services  summer  program 
was  attended  by  55  students  from  Perkins 
and  the  public  schools.  Twenty  of  these 
were  clients  of  the  New  Jersey  Commis- 
sion for  the  Blind.  The  New  Jersey  Com- 
mission provided  funding  for  a  special 
summer  program  that  offered  evaluation, 
pre-vocational  training,  and  training  in 
independent  living  skills  to  their  multi- 
handicapped  clients  of  high  school  age. 
The  remaining  students  participated  in  a 
program  which  reflected  the  offerings  of 
the  regular  school  year.  But,  whereas  it 
was  summer,  recreational  activities  were 
highlighted  for  all. 

In  November,  1 983,  Secondary  Services 
entered  the  computer  age.  An  Apple 
computer  was  purchased.  Hardware  and 
software  were  added  during  the  year.  A 
staff  person  with  computer  expertise 
completed  several  programming  projects. 
The  Work  Activities  payroll  is  now  done 
by  computer,  as  is  the  computation  and 
storage  of  the  students'  production  rates 
and  averages.  Many  of  the  Secondary 
Services  files  are  also  now  stored  on 
computer.  This  allows  an  easy  updating  of 
information  and  helps  keep  track  of 
important  meeting  dates.  Students  will 
begin  using  the  computer  in  September, 


1984.  By  using  the  "Echo-ll"  text-talker 
for  speech  output,  the  students  will  work 
with  the  computer  to  learn  English  as  a 
Second  Language  and  will  use  it  for 
more  traditional  purposes  like  learning 
math  and  spelling.  Some  non-verbal 
students  will  be  able  to  communicate 
through  the  computer.  The  student  will 
type  a  phrase  or  word  into  the  computer 
which  the  "Echo-ll"  will  synthesize  into 
speech.  This  might  represent  a  major 
breakthrough  for  some  multi-impaired 
individuals  in  the  Secondary  Services 
program. 

The  Secondary  Services  staff  appreci- 
ate the  Braille  Edit  program  and  the 
Maryland  Cranmer  Modified  Perkins 
Brailler,  which  allows  the  production  of 
braille  notices  for  visually  impaired  staff 
and  helps  teachers  and  houseparents 
produce  materials  for  the  students  who 
need  braille.  The  teacher  who  serves  as 
the  liaison  to  Watertown  High  School  is 
now  able  to  produce  the  vast  amounts  of 
braille  materials  required  in  the  Water- 
town  classes  in  much  less  time. 

After  a  successful  class  trip  to  Disney 
World,  the  class  of  1 983  gathered  in 
Dwight  Hall  for  a  June  graduation.  Stu- 
dents from  the  Deaf-Blind  Program  and 
Secondary  Services  wore  caps  and 
gowns  and  participated  in  joint  ceremo- 
nies celebrating  their  commencement 
as  young  adults.  Diplomas  were  awarded 
to  six  secondary  students;  Certificates 
of  Accomplishment  were  awarded  to  five 
students  during  these  exercises.

DEAFBLIND 
PROGRAM 


i: 


n  1983-84,  the  Deaf-Blind  Program  served  68  students, 
most  of  whom  were  adolescents.  Consequently,  the 
curriculum  continues  to  include  a  three-fold  emphasis 
upon  daily  living  skills,  prevocational  training,  and 
academic  learning.  A  few  younger  students,  with  early 
developmental  needs,  have  been  enrolled  in  recent 
months.  The  current  enrollment  represents  a  stable  enroll- 
ment for  the  past  few  years. 
The  Deaf-Blind  Program  is  in  the  second  year  of  funding  for  two  federally  funded  grants. 
Both  are  funded  at  slightly  over  $100,000  for  this  final  year  of  operation  .  The  Vocational 
Model  is  developing  innovative  ways  to  train  and  place  25  of  our  students  in  sheltered 
work  sites  within  the  community.  Under  the  able  leadership  of  Betsy  McGinnity,  and  with 
the  aid  of  2  and  Vz  teachers,  this  model  project  is  successfully  being  implemented.  The 
Total  Life  Planning  Grant,  led  by  Debra  Kamen,  intended  to  develop  plans  for  adult  service 
to  our  population,  as  they  exit  Perkins.  Our  students  are  benefiting  from  comprehensive 
planning  and  additional  home  and  personal  management  instruction. 


Perkins,  for  the  next  three-year  period, 
will  once  again  be  host  agency  for  the 
New  England  Regional  Center  for  Services 
to  Deaf-Blind  Children.  This  Center's 
services  will  be  coordinated  by  Marianne 
Riggio,  who  will  function  as  head  con- 
sultant. A  second  educational  consultant 
will  offer  consultation  to  the  region,  and 
Allen  Sanderson  will  be  responsible  for 
disbursement  of  funds  and  financial 
reporting.  Our  program  certainly  looks 
forward  to  once  again  being  in  a  key 
resource  role  for  the  five  New  England 
states  who  are  joining  hands  in  a  regional 
endeavor. 

There  are  currently  3  live-in  apartment 
training  programs  functioning  as  part  of 
our  program,  and  they  are  anticipated  to 
serve  as  instructional  sites  to  over  20 
students  for  the  coming  year.  Teaching 
staff,  clinical  staff,  cottage  staff  and  super- 
visors have  jointly  worked  hard  to  see  that 
these  apartments  have  been  established 
and  function  well.  This  cooperative,  inter- 


disciplinary approach  has  been  a  key 
ingredient  in  planning  successfully  for 
instructional  content,  the  transition  of 
our  students  into  adulthood,  and  for  the 
establishment  of  innovative  practices. 

Our  deaf-blind  students,  with  their 
varying  degrees  of  sensory  deficit,  intelli- 
gence, and  age  levels,  present  a  full 
spectrum  of  educational  need.  Our  multi- 
disciplinary  staff  continues  to  be  chal- 
lenged to  broaden,  refine  and  focus 
instructional  methods.  New  areas  of 
instruction,  such  as  use  of  computers 
and  other  technological  advances,  pre- 
sent themselves  as  new  frontiers  for  a 
talented  staff  to  master.  These  frontiers 
broaden  the  scope  of  the  deaf-blind 
teaching  profession,  just  as  they  broaden 
the  educational  arena  as  a  whole.

PROGRAM 
FOR  THE 
SEVERELY 
IMPAIRED 


The  Program  for  the  Severely  Impaired  officially 
opened  on  June  1 ,  1 983,  after  eight  months  of 
preparation.  The  number  of  students  quickly  grew  to 
ten  during  the  past  year,  with  additional  students  continu- 
ing to  be  referred  and  accepted  into  the  program. 
Students  currently  in  the  program  range  in  age  from  12 
to  20.  However,  students  are  served  in  the  program  any 
time  between  10  and  22  years  of  age. 

At  the  present  time,  there  are  two  classrooms  in  the  program.  One  serves  six  students  in 
a  prevocational  setting.  Aside  from  learning  beginning  work  skills,  there  is  also  a  focus  on 
activities  of  daily  living,  fine  and  gross  motor  skills,  language  and  socialization  activities 
as  well  as  other  cognitive  and  educational  tasks. 

The  second  classroom,  serving  the  remaining  four  students,  focuses  on  sensory  stimula- 
tion, fine  and  gross  motor  skills,  communication  and  socialization,  awareness  of  self  and 
the  environment,  and  activities  of  daily  living. 


As  more  students  are  accepted  into  the 
program,  a  third  classroom  will  be 
started.  This  will  create  a  continuum  of 
services  and  movement  through  the  class- 
room levels  as  the  students  progress. 

The  Program  for  the  Severely  Impaired 
is  a  24-hour,  day  and  residential  program, 
with  a  staff-to-student  ratio  of  1 :2  or  1 :3 
throughout  all  programming  hours.  The 
afternoon  and  evening  programs  are 
designed  to  be  educational  in  nature, 
although  the  focus  is  now  on  leisure- 
time  activities,  residential  skills,  socializa- 
tion skills  and  creative  expressive  activi- 
ties. Of  course,  behavioral  interventions 
and  teaching  activities  of  daily  living 
continue  throughout  the  entire  day.  There- 
fore, consistency  is  required  on  the  part 
of  the  staff,  and  the  team  environment 
that  is  set  up  facilitates  this  process.  Staff 
working  with  this  population  need  to  be 
skillful  and  knowledgeable,  dedicated  and 


caring,  consistent  and  positive,  as  well 
as  possess  a  high  energy  level.  We  have 
been  fortunate  to  have  such  a  staff  in 
the  program  and,  because  of  this,  we 
have  seen  a  great  deal  of  progress  in 
each  of  the  individual  students  despite 
the  short  time  that  he  or  she  has  been 
here.  We  are  also  fortunate  that  our 
students  have  involved,  caring  parents 
who  are  willing  to  follow  through  on 
programs  that  are  developed  for  their 
sons  or  daughters. 

The  program  is  still  relatively  new  and 
still  changing  as  we  grow;  however,  we 
have  been  able  to  adapt  to  the  changes, 
and  have  continuously  sought  the  best 
ways  to  make  the  program  beneficial  for 
each  individual  who  is  enrolled.

ADUIX 
SERVICES 


The  Adult  Services  program  underwent  an  exciting 
re-organization  into  three  program  components 
during  this  past  year.  These  changes  were  a  reflection 
of  our  commitment  to  provide  quality  services  to  clients 
eighteen  years  of  age  and  older,  both  in  on-campus 
training  programs  and  in  the  development  of  community- 
based  services.  Adult  Services  comprises  the  following 
three  program  components: 


Multi-impaired  Blind  Unit 


This  unit  offers  a  comprehensive  rehabilitation  program  to  visually  impaired  adults  who 
may  have  additional  impairments  in  hearing,  communication,  cognition,  behavior  or 
physical  movement.  An  interdisciplinary  team  of  clinical  and  rehabilitation  specialists 
provides  training  to  prepare  these  clients  for  a  variety  of  future  living  and  work  alterna- 
tives. To  ensure  better  continuity  and  quality  of  programming,  this  unit  was  relocated  into 
a  residence  of  its  own  on  campus.  A  wider  array  of  off-campus  work  training  sites  was 
also  offered  during  this  past  year. 


Head  Injury  Unit 


Referrals  for  programming  for  young 
adults  who  have  sustained  a  traumatic 
head  injury,  usually  the  result  of  a  motor 
vehicle  accident,  continued  to  increase. 
As  advances  in  medical  technology  have 
enabled  these  young  people  to  survive 
these  accidents,  there  have  been  few 
programs  addressing  their  need  beyond 
the  acute  hospitalization  stage.  Perkins 
has  been  in  an  excellent  position  to 
offer  training  to  these  young  adults,  who 
prior  to  their  accidents  were  functioning 
as  students  or  workers  in  our  society.  It  is 
our  hope  that  by  offering  appropriate 
vocational,  social,  and  daily  living  skills 
training,  these  young  adults  can  be 
re-integrated  into  the  community  to  vary- 
ing degrees  of  productivity  and 
self-sufficiency 

Community  Living  Services 

To  ensure  better  transition  and  coordina- 
tion of  services  to  adults,  this  community- 
based  program  of  residences  and  apart- 
ments was  re-organized  as  a  primary 
component  of  Adult  Services.  Our  staff 


supervise,  plan,  and  direct  the  operation 
of  several  off-campus  community  resi- 
dences and  semi-independent  apartments 
for  adults  who  are  blind,  visually  impaired, 
deaf-blind,  multi-impaired,  and  head 
injured.  By  expanding  into  community- 
based  residential  services,  we  have  been 
able  to  meet  the  tremendous  need  for 
housing  for  at  least  some  of  Perkins's 
graduates,  while  at  the  same  time  demon- 
strating the  kinds  of  residential  options 
that  are  needed  in  Massachusetts  and 
throughout  the  U.S. 

One  of  the  exciting  aspects  of  develop- 
ing community-based  services  has  been 
for  Perkins  to  develop  close  and  ongoing 
relationships  with  a  variety  of  state  and 
federal  agencies,  local  housing  authorities, 
town  officials,  neighborhood  groups,  and 
other  community  groups.  It  is  only  through 
the  combined  efforts  of  all  of  us,  school 
and  community  alike,  that  we  can  ensure 
the  development  of  community-based 
residences  for  handicapped  adults.

OUTREACH 
SERVICES 


Community  Outreach 

Fall  of  1 983  was  a  very  active  time,  with  the  first 
student  Career  Planning  Seminar  Weekend  followed 
directly  by  a  professional  conference  on  microcomputer 
technology  for  the  blind.  The  Career  Planning  weekend 
was  the  archetype  for  Outreach  weekends  to  follow:  1 2 
mainstreamed  high  school  students  with  vision  limita- 
tions came  from  New  Hampshire,  Connecticut  and 
Massachusetts  to  participate.  The  students  were  presented  with  a  rigorous  seminar 
curriculum,  including  reading  assignments  and  a  vocational  interest  inventory.  The 
veekend  was  also  designed  to  provide  an  opportunity  for  peer  interaction  and  recreation. 
Darents  joined  the  group  on  Sunday  for  a  panel  presentation  on  career  options  for  blind 
and  visually  impaired  adults. 

rhe  Microcomputer  Workshop  (second  in  the  Frontiers  inservice  series)  was  a  1-day 
session  which  was  given  in  Watertown  and  then  again  in  Northampton.  Speakers  came 
rom  Vanderbilt  University  and  The  Nebraska  School  for  the  Blind  and  presented  basic 


acts  about  how  computers  work  and  how 
hey  can  work  for  visually  impaired  and 
Dlind  school  children  in  educational 
settings. 

Spring  brought  a  different  level  of 
Dutreach  activity  into  focus:  the  expan- 
sion of  program  staff  and  scope.  The 
Derkins  Administration  and  Outreach  Ad- 
/isory  Council  requested  that  a  task  force 
Df  itinerant  teachers  be  convened  to 
articulate  their  needs  of  Perkins's  re- 
sources. In  response  to  the  task  force's 
ecommendations,  the  Community  Out- 
'each  staff  will  be  increased,  allowing  us 
:o  provide  direct  services  to  mainstreamed 
/isually  impaired  students  who  are  with- 
Dut  itinerant  support.  This  new  staff 
Derson  also  will  help  coordinate  the  Fron- 
tiers inservice  series  and  the  teen 
weekends. 

The  third  Frontiers  workshop,  held  in 
May  on  the  Perkins  Campus,  was  titled, 
"Vision  Loss:  What  Does  the  Future  Hold?" 
The  presentations  were  designed  to  ad- 
dress the  issues  that  force  parents  and 
teachers  of  children  who  have  failing 
vision.  Speakers  included  a  psychologist, 
a  university  researcher,  a  peer-network 


coordinator  and  a  parent-group  coordina- 
tor. The  foundation  was  laid  for  reviving 
a  parent  group  network  here  in  Massachu- 
setts which  could  work  with  Perkins 
Outreach  to  support  children  in  main- 
streamed  programs. 

Finally,  the  Outreach  Office  applied  for 
a  federal  grant  to  run  an  Outreach  for 
Work  program  for  the  next  3  years.  Such 
a  program,  geared  for  mainstreamed 
visually  impaired  high  schoolers,  would 
consolidate  the  Career  Planning  weekends 
into  a  sequence  which  would  also  offer 
summer  sessions  at  Minuteman  Vocational 
Technical  School,  and  a  summer  job 
internship  within  a  company  connected 
to  the  Perkins  Project  with  Industry. 

Occupational  Training  for  the  Blind 

This  project,  jointly  sponsored  by  Perkins 
and  the  Massachusetts  Commission  for 
the  Blind,  has  been  based  at  Perkins 
since  1982.  In  its  two-year  history  it  has 
functioned  variously  as  a  training  program 
for  blind/visually  impaired  clients,  a  job 
development  arm  of  the  Massachusetts 
Commission  for  the  Blind,  and  a  resource 
for  facilitating  the  integration  of  blind 


25 


and  visually  impaired  persons  into  com- 
munity- and  industry-based  training 
programs. 

Perhaps  the  most  important  outcome 
of  the  Occupational  Training  for  the  Blind 
project  has  been  a  process  of  systemati- 
cally identifying  job  possibilities  and  then 
coordinating  the  engineering  and  training 
modification  to  proceed  simultaneously 
with  the  readying  of  a  specific  client  to 
perform  that  job.  The  elements  of  this 
process  were  defined  in  a  preliminary 
form  during  some  of  the  early  site  surveys 
that  Occupational  Training  for  the  Blind 
performed  within  Boston  businesses. 
However,  when  Occupational  Training 
for  the  Blind  staff  approached  Wang 
Laboratories  and  New  England  Tele- 
phone Co.  and  realized  the  survey  and 
hiring  potential  with  each  company,  the 
O.TB.  project  wrote  a  separate  grant  to 
focus  on  these  two  companies  as  well  as 
AT&T  Communications.  This  grant 
became  the  Perkins  Project  with  Industry, 
which  is  described  more  fully  in  the  follow- 
ing article. 

Occupational  Training  for  the  Blind 
remained  a  joint  endeavor  with  Perkins 
and  the  Massachusetts  Commission  for 
the  Blind  through  this  past  year.  The 
tasks  identified  in  1983-84  were  to  identify 
within  each  region  of  Massachusetts  a 
list  of  businesses  and  industries  which 
might  provide  new  job  opportunities  for 
visually  impaired  and  blind  employees. 
Occupational  Training  for  the  Blind  staff, 
together  with  Massachusetts  Commission 
for  the  Blind  regional  staff,  performed 
5-8  site  surveys  within  each  region  and 
targeted  several  possibilities  in  each 
region  for  follow-up.  Our  objective  now 
becomes  one  of  presenting  to  the  Com- 
mission the  voluminous  data  we  have 
collected  and  assisting  them  in  using 
the  information  to  produce  specific  follow- 
up  analyses  and  job  placements.  The 
companies  we  have  surveyed  benefit  by 
gaining  new  insights  into  integrating  the 
visually  impaired  into  the  workforce;  the 
Mass.  Commission  benefits  in  expanding 
job  placement  opportunities  and  gaining 
more  sophisticated  skills  of  surveying 
and  job  modification.  Perkins  has  bene- 


fited in  working  closely  with  other  reha- 
bilitation agencies  and  with  businesses, 
allowing  for  a  deepening  of  our  own 
level  of  sophistication  regarding  state-of- 
the-art  strategies  for  assisting  the  blind 
and  visually  impaired  to  work  as  inde- 
pendently as  possible. 

Project  with  Industry 

In  September,  1983,  Perkins  was  awardei 
a  3-year  grant  from  the  U.S.  Department 
of  Education  (Rehabilitation  Services 
Administration)  to  develop  new  job  oppor- 
tunities for  visually  impaired  and  blind 
persons  within  New  England  Telephone, 
AT&T  Communication  and  Wang  Laborato 
ries.  Our  affiliations  with  the  engineer- 
ing resources  at  the  Massachusetts  Com 
mission  for  the  Blind  allow  us  to  utilize 
some  of  the  latest  technological  develop- 
ments in  adapting  a  job.  As  a  result,  the 
project  is  looking  at  jobs,  which  range 
widely,  to  include  mechanical  assembler? 
service  representatives,  software  engi- 
neers, and  telephone  operators. 

The  goals  of  Project  with  Industry  are 
two-fold:  to  place  qualified  candidates  in 
jobs  within  the  three  participating  com- 
panies and  to  document  the  process  of 
identifying  and  adapting  those  jobs  for 
future  training  purposes.  Many  of  the  job 
the  project  is  examining  have  not  previ- 
ously been  considered  feasible  for  a 
worker  without  sight.  By  integrating  com- 
puter applications  such  as  braille,  speec 
or  large  print  output  devices  into  a 
company's  system,  many  jobs  which  wer 
previously  inaccessible  become  new 
employment  opportunities  for  the  visuallv 
limited. 

At  Wang  Laboratories  we  are  analyzing 
nearly  every  job  for  the  possibility  of  a 
blind  employee  performing  that  job.  We 
have  completed  our  analysis  of  Research 
and  Development  at  the  Tewksbury  mani 
facturing  plant  and  have  identified  several 
jobs  that  are  currently  accessible  to  blinc 
or  visually  impaired  job-seekers.  We 
have  also  placed  one  client  and  assisted 
Wang  in  training  and  engineering  adap- 
tations for  two  others. 


26 


In  the  project's  first  year,  an  active 
Advisory  Council  guided  our  course  of 
activities.  Chaired  by  the  New  England 
Telephone  project  liaison,  the  Project  with 
Industry  Advisory  Council  represents 
the  investment  of  Perkins  School,  the 
Massachusetts  Commission  for  the  Blind 
and  the  three  participating  companies. 
Members  of  the  Advisory  Council  also 
assisted  in  project  presentations  at  con- 
ferences throughout  New  England. 

Our  second  year  will  see  a  continuation 
of  placement  activities  and  an  expansion 


in  our  publication  and  training  efforts.  The 
strategies  of  site  survey,  adaptive  engi- 
neering, and  interagency  coordination  are 
the  foundation  upon  which  Project  with 
Industry  is  based.  Our  obligation  is  to 
train  others  in  these  strategies  in  order 
to  broaden  the  placement  potential  for 
blind  and  visually  impaired  workers.

Coordinator 


CLINICAL 
SERVICES 


I! 


t  is  a  pleasure  to  note  that  the  Clinical  Services 
team  has  completed  six  very  active  years  of  formal 
operation  and  is  fully  integrated  in  the  educational  and 
rehabilitation  programs.  We  have  a  substantial  history  of 
providing  a  wide  spectrum  of  comprehensive  clinical 
services,  and  this  experience  has  enabled  us  to  serve 
students  and  clients  who  could  not  have  been  served 
even  five  years  ago.  This  ability  to  work  with  an  increas- 
ingly complex  population  is  attributed  not  only  to  our 
improved  knowledge  and  experience  but  also  to  our  reliance  upon  interdisciplinary 
teamwork.  In  spite  of  our  history  together,  we  have  remained  determined  to  continually 
critique  and  refine  our  delivery  of  services. 

As  in  the  past,  Clinical  Services  comprises  specialists  who  include  psychologists,  social 
workers,  occupational  therapists,  physical  therapists,  behavior  management  specialists, 
speech  and  language  pathologists,  audiologists,  an  educational  assessment  specialist, 
an  evaluation  supervisor,  and  a  registrar.  Other  clinical  personnel  have  been  available 
to  provide  consultation  as  necessary.  We  are  pleased  to  note  that  a  consulting  psychiatrist 


has  joined  our  team  in  order  to  provide 
additional  training  to  psychologists  and 
social  workers  as  well  as  to  assist  in  the 
evaluation  and  psychiatric  management 
of  our  students/clients. 

Perkins  has  continued  to  provide  complete 
medical  services  and  other  consultative 
services  through  a  contract  agreement 
with  General  Medical  Associates.  Three 
nurse  practitioners,  a  pediatrician  and  an 
internist  are  located  on  the  Perkins 
campus,  and  emergency  medical  services 
are  immediately  available  24  hours  per 
day,  seven  days  a  week.  In  addition  to  an 
annual  medical  and  ophthalmological 
examination  for  each  student  and  client, 


ongoing  medical  care  is  provided  as 
necessary.  Again  this  year,  Tufts  Dental 
Facility  for  the  Handicapped  has  enabled 
us  to  continue  providing  dental  screen- 
ings as  well  as  preventive  and  restora- 
tive services  to  our  students  and  clients. 

Each  educational  and  rehabilitative  pro- 
gram has  a  well  identified  team  of  clini- 
cians, teachers,  cottage  staff  and  other 
support  personnel  who  work  in  close 
cooperation  to  provide  a  comprehensive 
array  of  integrated  and  visible  services. 
This  process  facilitates  the  development 
and  fulfillment  of  an  educational  service 
plan  for  each  student/client  and  also 
becomes  the  basis  for  effective  staff 
communication  and  training.  27 


The  Coordinator  of  Clinical  Services  has 
maintained  responsibility  for  the  recruit- 
ment, assignment,  and  supervision  of  all 
clinical  staff  and  ensures  that  appropri- 
ate clinical  and  medical  services  are 
provided  to  each  student  and  client. 
This  important  monitoring  function  is  made 
possible  through  close  communication 
with  the  Coordinator  of  Instructional  Pro- 
grams, supervisors,  and  other  program 
staff.  Regularly  scheduled  meetings, 
such  as  individual  and  small  group  super- 
vision, task  forces,  steering  committees, 
and  other  planning  and  "strategy"  ses- 
sions provide  ongoing  opportunity  for 
information  sharing  and  program 
development. 

Clinical  Services  staff  members  have 
continued  to  seek  and  provide  opportuni- 
ties for  increasing  their  collective  base 
of  knowledge.  All  staff  attend  a  variety  of 
well-structured  peer  collaboration 
groups,  inservice  training  sessions, 
seminars  and  professional  conferences, 
and,  in  turn,  attempt  to  share  that  knowl- 
edge with  other  Perkins  staff  through  a 
system  of  ongoing  team  meetings  and 
informal  training  sessions.  Consultation 
and  education  to  community  groups  is 
deemed  an  important  function,  and  our 
university  affiliations  have  increased  very 
significantly  by  providing  internship 
opportunities  to  graduate  students  who 
represent  a  wide  variety  of  clinical 
disciplines. 

Each  year  since  our  formal  inception  in 
1978,  Clinical  Services  staff  and  other 
program  staff  have  been  very  actively 
involved  in  evaluating  individuals  who 
are  referred  to  Perkins  for  admission  or 
recommendations,  and  each  successive 
year  we  have  evaluated  significantly  more 
students  and  clients.  Although  we  are 
proud  of  our  evaluation  services,  we  will 
continue  to  explore  ways  in  which  we 
can  meet  this  increasing  demand  with  an 
even  greater  sense  of  efficiency.  The 


importance  of  providing  high  quality  dia 
nostic  evaluations  in  a  timely  fashion 
cannot  be  stressed  too  greatly,  since  sut 
sequent  programs  and  services  are  almo 
always  based  on  very  specific  recommei 
dations  which  are  cited  in  the  evaluatior 
reports. 

Although  an  elaboration  of  recent  accor 
plishments  and  new  goals  within  Clinica 
Services  is  beyond  the  scope  of  this 
report,  one  innovation  deserves  special 
note.  A  Low  Vision  Services  Committee 
was  formed  to  study  the  potential  of 
establishing  a  low  vision  service  directly 
on  the  Perkins  campus.  As  a  result  of 
the  Committee's  involvement,  negotiatioi 
were  initiated  with  the  faculty  at  New 
England  College  of  Optometry,  and  an 
affiliation  has  been  established  which 
entails  a  mutually  beneficial  arrangemer 
in  which  optometry  residents  provide 
low  vision  services  to  our  students  and 
clients  under  the  direct  supervision  of 
senior  faculty  members.  The  affiliation 
was  initiated  as  a  pilot  study  in  the  Deaf 
Blind  Program  at  the  beginning  of  1984, 
and  since  our  students  received  such 
outstanding  low  vision  services,  the  pro- 
gram will  be  expanded  to  include  other 
educational  programs  in  the  next  aca- 
demic year. 

The  above  example  serves  to  highlight 
the  attitude  which  prevails  among  Clinic 
Services  staff,  an  attitude  which  fosters 
a  determination  to  provide  increasingly 
effective  and  accountable  services  to 
our  students  and  clients  and  an  attitude 
which  does  not  allow  for  complacency. 

The  interested  reader  is  encouraged  to 
write  or  call  the  Coordinator  of  Clinical 
Services  for  additional  information  regarc 
ing  our  services  and  treatment  approacl

EDUCATION 

PROGRAM 


d; 


uring  the  1 983-84  school  year,  the  Teacher  Education 
Program  provided  an  opportunity  for  13  students  to 
pursue  full-time  training  as  teachers  of  blind  and  deaf- 
blind  children  or  in  orientation  and  mobility.  Seven  of  the 
trainees  came  from  five  countries— one  each  from  Argen- 
tina, Colombia,  Japan,  and  Kenya;  and  three  from  India. 
The  remaining  six  are  American  students  coming  from 
Iowa,  Massachusetts,  New  York,  Rhode  Island,  Vermont 
and  Puerto  Rico. 

II  of  the  13  trainees  received  the  Perkins  Diploma  in  their  area  of  speciality:  five  in  the 
ducation  of  the  visually  handicapped;  seven  in  the  education  of  deaf-blind  children;  and 
ne  as  an  instructor  of  orientation  and  mobility.  Ten  of  the  13  trainees,  including  four 
)reign  students,  also  earned  their  Master's  degree  in  special  education  at  Boston 
allege,  which  is  affiliated  with  Perkins.  Two  of  the  trainees  from  overseas  were  on 
otary  International  Scholarships. 

)  addition  to  the  13  full-time  students,  five  other  students  were  provided  short-term 
aining  from  September  to  December  of  1983.  Two  of  the  students  were  from 


iuatemala  and  received  training  in 
nglish  as  a  Second  Language;  another 
'as  a  19-year-old  deaf-blind  student 
om  Puerto  Rico  who,  along  with  his 
ihabilitation  counselor,  received  training 
i  repairing  the  Perkins  Brailler  at  the 
lowe  Press;  and  one  was  a  teacher  of 
lind  and  deaf-blind  children  from  Taiwan 
'ho  graduated  from  the  Perkins  Teacher 
ducation  Program  in  1968  and  returned 
)r  further  study  in  the  education  of 
eaf-blind  and  slow  learning,  multi- 
npaired  blind  children. 

or  the  first  time,  a  parent  from  India, 
long  with  his  1 3-year-old  deaf-blind 
on,  attended  Perkins  together.  The  child 
'as  enrolled  in  the  Deaf-Blind  Program, 
nd  the  father  was  provided  training  in 
le  Teacher  Education  Program,  as  well 
s  the  Child  Care  Worker  Program,  so  that 
e  could  serve  as  a  teacher-companion 
r  aide  to  his  son  and  perhaps  other 
eaf-blind  children  in  India.  The  young- 
ter  will  return  to  continue  his  studies  at 
erkins  for  another  year. 


The  Teacher  Education  Program  focused 
on  the  education  and  rehabilitation  of 
blind  or  visually  impaired  persons  and 
included  the  following  courses  as  they 
relate  to  the  Perkins  Diploma  program: 
major  trends  and  issues  in  the  education 
and  rehabilitation  of  blind  persons 
around  the  world;  teaching  methods 
and  teaching  aids  used  in  the  education 
of  blind/visually  impaired  persons;  inde- 
pendent and  guided  research  study  and 
readings  concerning  the  education  and 
rehabilitation  of  blind/vision-impaired  per- 
sons; introduction  to  aspects  of  U.S. 
culture;  English  as  a  second  language; 
and  planned  field  trips  to  local  educa- 
tion and  rehabilitation  programs  for  blind 
persons. 

The  Teacher  Education  Program  will  con- 
tinue to  develop  a  specialized  degree 
training  program  to  meet  the  needs  of 
teachers  from  developing  countries  con- 
cerned with  the  education  of  blind  and 
deaf-blind  children.  The  program's  out- 


29 


reach  will  expand  to  include  opportuni- 
ties for  teachers  around  the  U.S.  and 
overseas  to  carry  out  student  internships 
at  Perkins;  and  to  promote  independent 
study  and  research  in  the  education  of 
blind,  deaf-blind  children. 

Plans  are  now  underway  to  establish  a 
Technical  Assistance  Program  to  provide 


short-term  training  and  assistance  to 
teachers  in  developing  countries  in  order 
to  improve  educational  services  for  blinc 
and  deaf-blind  children  around  the  world

FINANCE 
OFFICE 


During  1983-84  Perkins  continued  to  develop  new 
programs  and  expanded  existing  programs.  Finan- 
cial service  personnel  were  able  to  continue  to  help 
program  personnel  with  these  changes.  These  new 
programs  for  students  and  clients  with  more  complex 
impairments  have  led  to  billing  an  increasing  number 
of  multiple  funding  sources  for  tuition  and  fees. 

Business  Office  personnel  worked  closely  with  program 
Dersonnel  to  develop  the  billing  procedures  so  that  the  School  could  collect  the  fees 
rom  the  multiple  agencies.  In  addition  we  have  been  able  to  assist  program  personnel  in 
developing  grant  requests  and  budgets  for  the  upcoming  off-campus  housing  program. 

During  one  quarter  we  had  paid  over  600  employees  for  both  Howe  Press  and  the  School, 
sven  though  this  number  of  individuals  may  not  have  been  on  the  payroll  at  the  same 
:ime. 

Ale  in  the  financial  area  of  the  School  are  happy  to  be  part  of  the  changing  and 
developing  Perkins.

INSTRUCTIONAL 

SUPPORT 

SERVICES 


The  Instructional  Support  Services  office  has  continuec 
to  serve  Perkins  in  a  variety  of  ways  during  the  past 
year.  The  major  functions  of  this  office  are  listed  below, 
and  a  brief  report  for  each  is  included. 

Grant  Development 

This  year  Perkins  added  New  York  State  to  its  list  of 
states  to  which  we  apply  for  Title  1  89-313  funds. 
Proposals  and  evaluations  were  written  and  approval  granted  for  a  total  of  five  states: 
Massachusetts,  Vermont,  Maine,  Rhode  Island,  and  New  York.  Grant  monies  are  used 
toward  payment  of  salaries  of  Clinical  Services  and  Work  Activities  staff  members.  Funds 
from  Title  I  grants  totaled  $96,1 51 .70  this  year. 

Once  again,  Perkins  applied  for  "Block  Grant"  funds  in  cooperation  with  the  town  of 
Watertown.  The  $900.75  which  was  approved  was  used  to  purchase  equipment  for  the 
Program  for  the  Severely  Impaired. 


Rental  of  Space 

Perkins  continues  to  rent  space  to 
interested  agencies  and  individuals. 
Rooms  and  areas  which  were  rented  this 
year  include  the  following:  Gymnasium, 
Pool,  Dwight  Hall,  Staff  Lounge,  Panel 
Room,  and  Auditorium  in  the  North 
Building;  and  the  Pond  and  Picnic  area. 

The  total  income  from  the  rentals  was 
$6,874.00  which  amounts  to  an  increase 
of  28%  over  last  year's  rentals. 

Student  Transportation 

The  responsibility  for  all  daily,  weekly, 
and  holiday  transportation  of  Perkins 
students  lies  in  the  Instructional  Support 
Services  Office.  These  routines  were 
discharged  efficiently  with  close  cooper- 
ation from  cab  companies,  parents, 
sponsoring  agencies,  and  Perkins  staff 
members. 

This  year  we  retired  four  of  our  passen- 
ger vehicles  and  added  a  new  fifteen- 
passenger  van,  three  seven-passenger 
mini-vans,  and  one  small  five-passenger 

32 


car.  Our  fleet  of  eleven  passenger 
vehicles  now  includes  more  and  newer 
vehicles  than  Perkins  has  ever  had.  Thi; 
year  handicapped  license  plates  were 
acquired  for  six  of  our  passenger  vehicle 
and  we  joined  ALA  to  provide  emergenc 
road  service  to  give  us  added  assuranc 
that  we  can  travel  under  maximum  safet 
conditions. 


Safety  and  Security 


Many  of  Perkins's  safety  and  security 
concerns  are  dealt  with  by  a  nine- 
member  committee  known  as  the  "Safety 
and  Security  Committee."  Each  of  the  fij 
sub-committees  advises  the  school 
administration  on  all  matters  pertaining 
to  safety  and  security.  Some  of  the 
problems  are  as  follows: 

Subcommittee  on  Fire  Evacuation:  Fire 
evacuation  instructions  for  classrooms, 
Evacuation  Drills,  evacuation  of  wheel- 
chair persons,  and  false  alarm  reductior 

Subcommittee  on  Policy  Development: 
Policies  presently  being  re-written  or  on 


tie  list  for  review  in  the  Fall  of  1 984  are 
tie  following:  Vehicle  Parking,  Regulations 
for  use  of  Perkins  Pond,  Smoking  Regu- 
ations,  Bicycle  Policies,  and  Regulations 
:or  use  of  the  Swimming  Pool. 

Subcommittee  on  Accident  Reporting: 
nvestigation  of  all  accidents  to  staff 
Tiembers  and  students  and  recommenda- 
:ions  for  accident  prevention  were  the 
ocus  of  the  committee  again  this  year. 

Subcommittee  on  Inspections:  Inspec- 
ions  of  all  campus  buildings  were  corn- 
Dieted  by  this  committee  in  May  of  1 984. 

Subcommittee  on  Parking  and  Traffic: 
/Vorking  with  the  Policy  Development 
Subcommittee,  this  group  did  a  total 
'evision  of  the  Vehicle  Parking  policies, 
n  addition,  specific  recommendations  for 
new  campus  signs  were  made  to  the 
school  administration. 

Administration  for  Emergency 
Coverage:  This  year,  emergencies  during 
non-school  hours  were  dealt  with  by  a 
;rew  of  eight  administrators  who  share 
his  duty.  Most  frequent  emergencies  this 
/ear  had  to  do  with  false  alarms,  mainte- 
nance problems,  medical  problems,  and 
student  discipline. 

National  School  Lunch  Program:  Once 
again  this  year,  Perkins  participated  in 
he  Special  Milk  Reimbursement  Program 
Df  the  National  School  Lunch  Programs. 
ror  the  ten-month  period  September,  1 983 
:o  June,  1984,  the  total  reinbursement 
igure  was  $11,387.12. 

Licensing  and  Accreditation:  Perkins 
Dperates  under  licenses  from  several  state 
and  local  agencies.  Some  of  these  are 
as  follows:  Office  for  Children,  Department 
Df  Special  Education,  Department  of 
vlental  Health,  Watertown  Board  of  Health, 
and  Watertown  Fire  Department.  In  addi- 
:ion,  Perkins  seeks  accreditation  from 
:he  New  England  Association  of  Schools 
and  Colleges  and  the  National  Accredita- 
ion  Council  of  Agencies  Serving  the  Blind 
and  Visually  Handicapped.  All  licenses 
and  accreditations  are  current  for  the 
school  year  1983-84. 

Staff  Training:  This  year  53  Perkins  staff 
nembers  were  certified  in  First  Aid  and 


33  in  CPR.  An  additional  24  earned  certifi- 
cation in  Water  Safety  courses.  Training 
in  fire  safety  was  given  to  1 50  of  our  staff 
members,  and  30  took  part  in  New 
Games  instructions.  Our  staff  trainer 
instructed  over  300  staff  members  in 
driver's  training  this  year. 

Of  the  above  courses  listed,  First  Aid 
is  required  by  law;  the  others  are  optional. 
In  addition  to  the  53  people  who  received 
formal  First  Aid  certification,  50  others 
were  given  instructions  in  the  subject. 

Instruction  and  training  in  Crisis  Preven- 
tion and  Physical  Intervention  was  given 
this  year  to  all  Perkins  staff  members  who 
work  with  students  who  might  need 
intervention. 

New  staff  members  who  receive  orienta- 
tion by  our  staff  trainer  this  year  num- 
bered 78.  The  staff  trainer's  off-campus 
commitments  for  instruction  totaled  78 
hours  and  returned  $1470.00  to  Perkins. 


School  Library 


The  Perkins  School  Library,  which  is 
staffed  by  a  3/4-time  library  aide,  offered  its 
services  to  all  school  programs  this  year. 
Our  collection  was  expanded  by  277  print 
books,  27  large  print  books,  37  braille 
books,  5  volunteer  recorded  cassette 
books,  a  cassette  dictionary,  and  15 
music  cassettes.  Library  services  were 
promoted  this  year  with  a  variety  of 
continuing  and  special  events,  including 
a  reading  incentive  program  with  achieve- 
ment awards,  holiday  programs,  books 
and  poster  contests,  and  a  professional 
storytelling  series.  Our  circulation  totaled 
over  3000  items,  which  is  a  20%  increase 
over  last  year. 

Volunteer  Services: 

This  year  Perkins  utilized  the  services 
of  volunteers  in  a  variety  of  areas.  These 
include  work  in  the  cottages,  aides  in 
recreation  and  physical  education, 
readers  for  student  and  staff  members, 
and  guides  and  drivers  of  school  cars. 
The  various  stages  followed  at  Perkins  in 
its  volunteer  program  include  recruiting, 
screening,  selecting,  orienting  and  train- 
ing, placing,  supervising,  evaluating,  and 

33 


recognizing  all  of  our  volunteers.  Nearly 
200  volunteers  from  a  variety  of  scattered 
communities  and  representing  a  wide  age 
range  took  part  in  providing  Perkins  with 
volunteer  services. 

Instructional  Materials 

The  Instructional  Materials  Center  com- 
pleted its  first  full  year  in  its  new  location 
in  the  Howe  Building.  Special  projects, 
which  include  the  addition  of  more 
shelving  and  the  construction  of  a  storage 
room,  will  be  accomplished  during  the 
summer  of  1984.  These  physical  improve- 
ments will  provide  a  more  secure  envi- 
ronment for  the  equipment  and  will  allow 
us  to  make  better  use  of  available  space. 
Plans  for  the  coming  year  also  call  for  an 


overhaul  of  the  Dwight  Hall  sound 
system. 

Perkins's  new  %"  video  system  was  used 
very  extensively  this  year.  Staff  members 
are  becoming  more  aware  of  its  value  as 
a  tool  for  documenting  student  activities 
and  for  viewing  tapes  which  we  borrow. 
A  V2"  portable  video  system  is  being 
recommended  for  purchase  by  the 
school  to  help  meet  our  growing  needs 
for  videotaping. 

This  year,  Perkins  acquired  membership 
in  the  Boston  Public  and  Boston  Univer- 
sity Film  Libraries,  thus  giving  us  access 
to  over  40,000  film  titles.

PERSONNEL 
OFFICE 


The  Personnel  Office  continued  its  growth  and 
development  during  Fiscal  Year  1984.  Following  are 
some  of  the  functional  areas  in  which  Personnel  was 
active: 

Employment 

During  the  academic  year  1983/84,  2,252  appli- 
cants applied  for  positions  at  the  School.  This  figure 

represented  a  1 6%  increase  over  the  previous  year.  During  the  academic  year  1 983/84 

the  School  hired  21 5  new  employees. 

The  Job  Opportunity  Listing  was  again  expanded  to  provide  over  40  agencies,  colleges, 
universities,  and  other  organizations  in  the  Greater  Boston  area  with  information  about 
current  school  job  openings.  The  Personnel  Office  continued  its  on-campus  recruiting 
at  six  colleges  and  universities  in  the  Boston  area.  The  Personnel  Office  introduced  two 
"Open  Houses"  at  the  School.  The  purpose  of  an  Open  House  is  to  give  job  applicants 
a  chance  to  come  to  Perkins  to  see  the  campus  first-hand.  A  film/slide  presentation,  tour 


of  the  campus  and  interaction  with 
Perkins  employees  highlighted  the  Open 
House.  The  Personnel  Office  continued 
to  expand  its  Exit  Interviewing  procedure 
for  employees  who  were  leaving  the 
employ  of  the  School. 

Benefits 

The  American  Red  Cross  returned  to  the 
school  during  the  year  in  order  to  conduct 
34 


another  blood  drive.  The  drive  again 
proved  to  be  very  successful,  as  24% 
more  employees  participated  this  year 
than  last.  The  Personnel  Office  conducte< 
the  first  ever  "Health  Fair."  The  fair  gave 
employees  an  opportunity  to  have  various 
health  screenings  conducted  in  order  to 
determine  their  health  levels.  The  highligh 
of  the  fair  was  the  use  of  the  Eye  Mobile 
donated  by  the  Watertown  Lions  Club. 
The  Employee  Services  Program  contin- 


jed  to  expand  in  order  to  allow  employ- 
ees to  take  advantage  of  various  pro- 
notional  activities,  discounts  and  special 
events.  This  year  an  Employee  Discount 
Drogram  Booklet  was  developed  in  order 
:o  provide  employees  with  a  directory  of 
tie  various  discounts  and  attractions.  The 
Service  Award  Program  was  held  for  the 
ourth  time.  Twenty-six  employees  with 
:en  or  more  years  of  service  were  recog- 
nized. This  included  five  employees  with 
25  years,  two  employees  with  30  years 
and  one  employee  with  35  years  of 
service.  The  Personnel  Office  coordi- 
nated Group  Health  Insurance  meetings 
Detween  employees  and  representatives 
3f  the  School's  three  health  insurance 
Drograms.  The  Personnel  Office  also 
Droduced  a  Comparison  of  Health  Insur- 
ance Plan  Booklet  which,  side-by-side, 
Dompared  the  coverages  of  the  health 
nsurance  plans. 


Employee  Relations 

The  Personnel  Office  published,  for  the 
second  year  in  a  row,  Benigrams.  Benigram 
topics  included  information  about  the 
School's  Infirmary  and  Recreational  Activ- 
ities, Life  Insurance,  Pension  Plan  and 
Paid  Sick  Leave  Plan.  Employee  counsel- 
ing was  also  provided.  The  counseling 
consisted  of  helping  employees  resolve 
job-related  issues. 

Compensation 

A  comprehensive  review  of  the  School's 
job  classification  and  compensation 
program  continued  during  the  Fiscal  Year.

RESEARCH  LIBRARY 

and 

MUSEUM 

ON  BLINDNESS 


II 


ncreasingly,  the  library  is  being  used  as  a  source  of 
reference  by  other  than  Perkins  staff  members. 
Researchers  from  around  the  world,  as  well  as  a 
number  of  educators,  administrators,  teachers  and  reha- 
bilitation personnel  have  used  the  facilities  of  the  library 
when  studying  the  services  and  programs  that  Perkins 
offers.  Parents  whose  children  are  being  evaluated  or 
educated  at  Perkins  use  it  as  a  source  of  information  on 
how  they  can  assist  their  children's  development. 
Boston  College  students  studying  for  Master's  degrees  in  the  field  of  blindness  are  the 
most  frequent  users  of  the  library.  In  addition,  an  increasing  number  of  other  college 
students  are  using  the  library.  Included  in  this  group  are  overseas  teacher  training 
students  who  use  the  collection  as  their  major  source  of  information.  To  keep  these 
students  and  other  interested  persons  abreast  of  new  developments  in  the  field,  the 
library  sends  out,  twice  a  year,  over  two  hundred  copies  of  a  forty-  to  fifty-page 
accessions  list  which  records  over  2,000  new  additions  to  the  collection.  In  addition  to 
listing  our  new  acquisitions  on  blindness  and  deaf-blindness,  it  provides  a  current 
bibliography  on  blindness.  This  year  the  library  has  added  a  journal-copying  service  for 


37 


Perkins  staff  so  they  are  more  fully  aware 
of  new  articles.  The  Research  Library  is 
open  on  a  reference  basis  to  the  public 
Monday  through  Friday  from  8:30  a.m. 
until  5:00  p.m. 

We  receive  over  2,000  telephone  and  mail 
inquiries  a  year,  ranging  from  school 
children  seeking  information  on  Helen 
Keller,  braille,  and  the  education  of  the 
blind  to  researchers  seeking  bibliogra- 
phies and  more  indepth  material  in 
their  particular  focus  on  blindness  and 
deaf-blindness. 

A  review  of  the  archival  materials  was 
made  with  a  view,  in  the  future,  of  building 
a  special  room  to  house  the  materials. 
The  microfiche  reader/printer  purchased 
two  years  ago  has  proven  to  be  an  excel- 
lent saver  of  space  and  aids  in  reducing 
costs  of  doctoral  dessertations,  conven- 
tion papers  and  reports  by  enabling  us 
to  purchase  these  materials  on  microfiche. 

A  start  has  been  made  on  cataloging 
letters,  papers  and  other  materials 
relating  to  Helen  Keller's  years  (1 896- 
1904)  at  the  Cambridge  School. 

A  disaster  plan  has  been  drawn  up 
which  will  provide  a  means  of  evacuation 
and  of  saving  the  material  housed  in  the 
library  if  a  fire  or  flood  should  occur. 

Tkctile  Museum 

The  tactile  museum  continues  to  serve 
the  school  population  by  updating  the 
collection.  In  the  past  year  a  number  of 
items  have  been  added,  including  a  full 
set  of  miniature  United  Nations  flags,  a 
fruit  bat,  jaws  of  a  lemon  shark,  and  a 
model  of  an  octopus. 

The  museum  also  provides  an  invalua- 
ble educational  resource  to  visually 
impaired  students  attending  public 
schools  who  visit  Perkins.  Each  month  an 
exhibit  is  displayed  using  items  in  the 
museum.  A  bulletin  explaining  the  exhibit 
is  distributed  to  teachers  and  to  some 
other  organizations  for  the  blind  in  the 
area  which  might  care  to  visit  the  exhibit. 

The  Blindiana  Museum,  which  shows 
the  history  of  the  education  of  the  blind 


and  deaf-blind,  is  being  cleaned  and 
brought  up-to-date.  Some  of  the  exhibits, 
such  as  those  on  aids  and  appliances, 
and  the  blind  in  fact  and  fiction,  have 
been  redesigned  to  reflect  recent 
changes.  New  exhibits  have  been  added 
on  dog  guides,  tactual  money  and  preven- 
tion of  blindness. 

The  exhibit  on  Laura  Bridgman  in  the 
Reseach  Library  has  proved  to  be  very 
popular,  especially  to  school  groups 
visiting  Perkins.  The  children  are  fasci- 
nated with  Laura's  intricate  needlework. 

Staff  Library 

To  meet  the  needs  of  the  staff  working 
with  the  non-blind  population  and  those 
with  additional  disabilities  that  Perkins  is 
serving,  the  staff  library  has  been  acquir- 
ing additional  professional  material  on 
head  trauma,  ambulatory  problems,  birth 
defects,  and  other  handicaps.  The  needs 
of  the  blind  teachers  and  teacher  trainees 
are  now  being  met  more  fully  by  having 
a  section  of  this  library  set  aside  for 
braille  and  recorded  professional 
materials. 

In  conjunction  with  the  school  library,  a 
very  successful  end-of-school  book  sale 
was  held.  This  allowed  both  libraries  to 
get  rid  of  out-of-date  and  surplus  books 
so  that  the  collections  would  be  more 
reflective  of  the  needs  of  staff  and 
students. 

Kenneth  A.  Stuckey, 
Research  Librarian 


The  future  of  Perkins  is  assured  with 
program  commitments  such  as  those 
made  by  the  individuals  whose  reports 
you  have  read.

REPORT 
of  the 
PRESIDENT, 
1983-84 


We  welcome  here  today  the  new  members  of  our 
corporation.  You  have  just  joined  a  family  which  is 
among  the  oldest  of  any  in  the  Commonwealth  of 
Massachusetts,  and  yet  one  which  is  looking  to  meet  tf 
needs  of  the  present  and  future  generations  of  blind 
and  otherwise  handicapped  individuals  of  the  world. 

The  means  by  which  an  institution  such  as  Perkins 
remains  at  the  forefront  in  its  field  is  to  offer  programs 

which  the  times  necessitate.  During  the  past  year,  the  school  has  been  working  in  seven 

areas  in  order  to  provide  these  services. 

The  Program  for  the  Severely  Impaired  has  steadily  grown  from  its  inception  over  a  year 
ago,  and  now  houses  ten  students.  We  will  be  expanding  this  program,  somewhat,  over 
the  course  of  the  year,  since  it  has  proven  programmatically  and  financially  feasible  to 
do  so. 

Early  in  the  fiscal  year,  the  school  was  awarded  three  federal  grants.  One,  Project  with 


Industry,  has  been  successful  in  securing 
placements  at  New  England  Telephone, 
AT&T  and  Wang  for  several  individuals. 
The  other  two  grants  have  made  it  possible 
to  find  proper  placements  for  deaf-blind 
students  who  are  at  risk  of  losing  edu- 
cational support  upon  turning  twenty-two. 

The  new  Outreach  Services  program 
has  held  a  number  of  workshops  and 
seminars  for  students  and  professionals 
in  the  public  schools,  so  that  blind 
students  in  public  schools  might  be 
assured  of  receiving  the  special  quality 


services  they  need.  Also,  the  Outreach 
Services  program  has  placed  a  number 
of  itinerant  teachers  into  the  public 
schools,  so  Perkins  has  been  able  to  gai 
some  benefit  from  the  "mainstreaming" 
movement  of  recent  years. 

The  Community  Living  Services  program 
will  soon  expand  its  offerings  when  the 
two  Watertown  Housing  Authority-ownec 
houses  on  Green  Street  will  be  occupied 
by  Perkins-sponsored  clients.  One  of 
these  houses  will  be  known  as  an 
Intermediate  Care  Facility,  Type  B,  which 


40 


/ill  provide  services  which  are  Medicaid- 
eimbursable. 

Vhile  the  student  population  at  schools 
Dr  the  blind  across  the  country  decreases, 
ie  population  at  Perkins  is  at  the  same 
jvel  as  it  was  four  years  ago. 

he  past  decade  has  put  a  strain  on 
chools  for  the  blind.  Many  have  been 
Dreed  to  reduce  in  scope  or  to  drastically 
educe  services.  At  Perkins,  we  have 
ot  had  to  compromise  our  services;  in 
act  we  have  grown  in  scope. 

on  annual  deficit  continues  to  plague 
s.  We  have  tried  to  end  these  deficits, 
iut  at  this  point  are  not  optimistic  it  will 
lappen. 

i  a  continued  effort  to  strengthen  our 
nancial  situation,  we  have  expanded 
»ur  development  efforts.  The  Annual  Fund 
lis  year  received  about  $380,000,  a 
>63,000  increase  over  last  year's  record 
imount. 

X  this  time,  I  would  like  to  express  the 
rustees'  appreciation  to  Blair  Cleveland 
nd  the  business  leaders  in  the  Com- 
lonwealth  who  are  serving  as  members 
f  the  Corporate  Advisory  Committee, 
his  committee  was  formed  last  spring  to 
ssist  Perkins  in  underwriting  the  Inde- 
•endent  Living  Services  program  for 
oung  people,  age  22  and  over,  when 
Chapter  766  help  ceases.  With  their  help, 
/e  look  forward  to  increasing  financial 
upport  from  the  business  community  for 
program  which  prepares  clients  for 
idependent  living  and  employment  in  the 
Deal  community. 

)ommittee  membership  includes: 

Melvin  B.  Bradshaw,  Chairman,  Liberty 

Mutual  Insurance  Company 
Thomas  J.  Galligan,  Jr.,  Chairman, 

Boston  Edison  Company 
Nelson  S.  Gifford,  President,  Dennison

A  topic  of  continuing  interest  to  me  has 
been  that  of  energy  conservation.  In  the 
past  two  years,  I  have  reported  that  the 
school  achieved  substantial  savings  in 
its  energy  costs  in  comparison  to  the 
previous  year.  Due  to  the  huge  increase 
in  electricity  and  fuel  oil  prices  and  the 
severity  of  the  last  winter,  I  am  unable  to 
report  that  gain  to  you  again.  This  is  one 
factor  which  has  helped  to  create  this 
year's  high  deficit.  We  continue  to  work  to 
reduce  our  energy  costs,  and  hope  to 
have  more  favorable  news  in  coming  years. 

The  facilities  needs  of  the  school  have 
occupied  much  of  the  time  of  the  trus- 
tees and  administration  this  year.  A  reha- 
bilitation study  undertaken  by  the  Dimeo 
Construction  Company  was  completed 
in  October  of  1 983.  The  study  indicated 
that  restoration  of  the  physical  plant  to 
its  original  condition  would  require  a  multi- 
million  dollar  expenditure.  With  this  infor- 
mation, the  trustees  decided  to  assess 
the  future  programmatic  and  facilities 
needs  of  the  school  in  order  to  determine 
if  rehabilitation,  or  new  construction,  of 
part  or  all  of  the  school  would  be  in  the 
school's  best  interest.  We  have  com- 
pleted an  analysis  of  the  future  program- 
matic structure  of  the  school  (to  the 
extent  it  can  be  determined),  and  are  now 
embarking  on  a  study  of  the  campus  in 
order  to  establish  what  facilities  configura- 
tion would  best  suit  those  programs. 
Shepley,  Bulfinch,  Richardson  and  Abbott 
has  been  hired  to  assist  us.  We  should 
have  the  results  of  that  study  by  late  fall, 
and  will  be  able  to  report  to  you  next 
year  what  steps  the  school  has  taken  to 
rehabilitate  its  facilities. 

The  Dimeo  Report,  along  with  the  Arthur 
D.  Little  study,  now  being  combined  with 
the  Shepley,  Bulfinch  study,  will  hopefully 
give  us  a  "Perkins  Master  Plan."  This 
represents  a  tremendous  number  of  hours 
by  trustees  and  staff,  and  I  commend 
them  all  for  their  participation. 


41 


Over  the  past  year  we  have  lost  the 
guidance  of  some  incorporators— they  are: 

Mr.  George  Alevizos 
Dr.  Edwin  B.  Dunphy 
Mrs.  William  J.  Edwards 
Dr.  Henry  H.  Faxon 
Mr.  John  H.  Gardiner 
Mr.  Carl  Gilbert,  Jr. 
Miss  Eunice  L  Kenyon 
Mr.  W.  Irving  Middleton 
Mr.  Sumner  Scott 

Many  of  those  named  have  given  many 
years  of  their  time  and  efforts  to  the 
school.  We  appreciate  their  contributions 
and  will  certainly  miss  the  enjoyment  of 
their  company. 

In  conclusion,  I  hope  that  all  of  you  have 
an  opportunity  to  view  some  part  of  the 
school  this  afternoon.  Tours  of  the  Howe 
Press  have  been  set  to  take  place  immedi- 
ately after  this  meeting.  I  am  sure  that 
many  of  you  were  quite  intrigued  when 
viewing  the  display  on  the  Howe  Press 
this  afternoon  to  learn  that  the  Howe 
Press  has  been  an  integral  part  of  the 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  for  almost  as 
long  as  the  school  has  been  in  existence. 
The  Howe  Press  has  been  involved  in  a 
variety  of  operations  during  its  long 
history,  and  yet  its  staff  are  still  looking 
into  new  methods  of  helping  the  blind  of 
the  world,  and  improving  on  the  products 
which  it  has  produced  for  years. 

In  addition,  you  might  want  to  explore 
around  the  campus  to  see  what  is  new 


and  to  experience  the  atmosphere  of 
vitality  that  makes  Perkins  the  unique 
entity  it  is.  Also,  a  van  has  been  reserved 
so  that  you  may  tour  the  new  Green 
Street  Intermediate  Care  Facility — I  urge 
you  to  do  so. 


On  October  24th,  Mr.  Woodcock 
announced  his  retirement  from  Perkins 
School  for  the  Blind. 

I  would  like  to  take  the  opportunity  to 
thank  Chuck  for  his  seven  years  of  servic 
to  the  School  and  for  the  number  of 
programs  that  he  has  helped  initiate, 
develop,  or  expand  during  his  years  as 
Director. 

In  turning  to  the  future  of  Perkins,  it  is 
clear  that  we  have  the  ability  and  com- 
mitment to  provide  on-going  and  consis- 
tent services  to  many  blind  and  multi- 
impaired  students  and  clients. 

The  directions  taken  during  the  past  few 
years  have  opened  up  new  and  creative 
ways  of  providing  services  to  students 
and  clients  both  on  and  off  campus. 

Because  of  Chuck,  we  can  be  proud  of 
Perkins's  programs  serving  individuals 
from  birth  through  adulthood,  and  we  car 
be  proud  of  the  staff  who  have  dedicated 
themselves  to  quality  service.

PERKINS  SCHOOL 
FOR  THE 
BLIND 


ANNIM  MEETING, 
NOVEMBER  5,  1984 


Treasurer's  Report 


The  report  of  the  Treasurer  for  the  year  ended  August 
31,  1984  is  submitted  herewith.  The  accounts  of  the 
Corporation  were  audited  by  Coopers  &  Lybrand,  and 
their  report  is  attached. 

Income  from  Tuition  and  board  was  $4,585,345,  an 
increase  of  $728,045  over  last  year  as  a  result  of  the 
increased  tuition  rates  necessary  for  our  ever-increasing 
proportion  of  multi-handicapped  students.  Total  enrollment  was  200,  about  the  same  as  a 
year  ago.  Investment  income  of  $2,150,818  was  $107,812  lower  than  the  previous  year. 
This  was  due  to  the  lower  interest  rates  obtained  on  our  short-term  funds  and  to  the  use 
of  substantial  amounts  of  Endowment  funds  for  the  operating  deficit  and  for  improve- 
ments and  additions  to  our  Plant.  Total  income  from  all  sources  was  $8,980,803, 
including  Federal  Grants. 

Operating  expenses  were  $10,648,473  compared  to  $9,298,158  last  year,  an  increase 
of  $1,350,315.  Increases  in  higher  salaries,  health  insurance  and  other  benefits,  and 


social  security  taxes  totalled  $928,993 
from  1983  to  1984. 

Reducing  our  operating  expenses  sub- 
stantially while  maintaining  the  excel- 
lence of  our  programs  must  continue  to 
be  a  major  objective  of  the  Administra- 
tion and  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

The  total  Expenses  for  the  year  of 
$10,648,475  exceeded  income  by 
$1 ,667,670.  This  amount  was  charged 
$1,253,180  to  Unrestricted  Invested 
Funds  and  $414,490  to  the  Principal  of 
the  Deaf-Blind  Fund.  In  the  prior  year 
the  comparable  total  deficit  was 
$1,223,102. 


Total  Howe  Press  sales  were  off  $52,234 
from  last  year.  We  shipped  7,268  Brailler: 
against  7,785  a  year  ago  so  that  the 
dollar  sales  of  the  Perkins  Brailler  were 
$2,277,629.  The  resulting  net  operating 
income  for  the  Press  was  $291 ,699. 
Investment  income  showed  an  increase 
of  $48,400  so  that  the  Press  had  an 
excess  of  income  over  expenses  of 
$430,51 6  for  the  year.

Independent  Certified 
Public  Accountants'  Report 


To  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind: 


w; 


re  have  examined  the  balance  sheet  of  Perkins  School 
for  the  Blind  as  of  August  31 ,  1 984,  the  related 
statement  of  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources 
used  to  meet  expenditures,  statement  of  income  and 
expense  of  The  Howe  Press  of  Perkins  School  for  the 
Blind  and  summary  of  changes  in  fund  balances  for 
the  year  then  ended.  Our  examination  was  made  in 
accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards 
and,  accordingly,  included  such  tests  of  the  accounting 
records  and  such  other  auditing  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circum- 
!  stances.  We  previously  examined  and  reported  upon  the  1983  financial  statements  of 
|  the  School  which  are  included  in  condensed  form  for  comparative  purposes  only. 

|  When  legacies  received  are  unrestricted  as  to  principal,  the  School  does  not  consider 
'.  them  as  current  funds  resources  but  adds  them  directly  to  funds  functioning  as 
endowments  as  reflected  in  the  summary  of  changes  in  fund  balances. 


In  our  opinion,  except  that  legacies  unre- 
stricted as  to  principal  have  not  been 
reflected  as  current  funds  resources,  the 
aforementioned  financial  statements 
present  fairly  the  financial  position  of 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind  at  August 
31,  1984,  its  current  funds  expenditures 
and  resources  used  to  meet  expendi- 
tures, the  income  and  expense  of  The 
Howe  Press  of  Perkins  School  for  the 
Blind  and  the  changes  in  its  fund  balances 
for  the  year  then  ended  in  conformity 
with  generally  accepted  accounting  princi- 
ples applied  on  a  basis  consistent  with 
that  of  the  preceding  year. 

The  financial  statements  referred  to  in 
the  foregoing  opinion  are  set  forth  on 
pages  2  to  8,  inclusive,  of  this  report.  Our 
examination  was  made  primarily  for  the 
purpose  of  rendering  an  opinion  on  these 


basic  financial  statements,  taken  as  a 
whole.  The  other  data  included  in  this 
report  on  pages  9  to  1 5,  although  not 
considered  necessary  for  a  fair  presenta- 
tion of  financial  position,  current  funds 
expenditures  and  resources  and  changes 
in  fund  balances,  are  presented  prima- 
rily for  supplemental  analysis  purposes. 
This  additional  information  has  been 
subjected  to  the  audit  procedures  applied 
in  the  examination  of  the  basic  financial 
statements  and,  in  our  opinion,  is  fairly 
stated  in  all  material  respects  in  relation 
to  the  basic  financial  statements  taken  as 
a  whole.

PERKINS  SCHOOL  FOR  THE  BLIND 
NOTES  TO  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS 

A.    Significant  Accounting  Policies: 


1 .  In  order  to  ensure  observance  of  limitations  and  restrictions  placed  on  the  use 
of  the  resources  available  to  the  School,  the  accounts  of  the  School  are 
maintained  in  accordance  with  the  principles  of  "fund  accounting."  This  is  the 
procedure  by  which  resources  for  various  purposes  are  classified  into  funds  in 
accordance  with  activities  or  objectives  specified. 

The  statement  of  current  funds  expenditures  and  resources  used  to  meet 
expenditures  is  a  statement  of  financial  activities  of  current  funds  related  to  the 
current  reporting  period.  It  does  not  purport  to  present  the  results  of  opera- 
tions or  the  net  income  or  loss  for  the  period  as  would  a  statement  of  income  or 
a  statement  of  revenues  and  expenses. 

2.  Investments  are  reported  at  their  fair  market  value.  These  assets,  except  for 
special  investments  of  restricted  endowments,  are  pooled  for  investment 
purposes.  Income  earned  on  pooled  investments  is  recognized  as  revenue  upon 
receipt  and  allocated  to  the  participating  funds  by  the  unit  share  method  (based 
on  market  values). 

3.  Plant  fund  assets  are  generally  recorded  at  cost.  Major  additions  to  plant  fund 
assets  are  capitalized.  A  provision  of  $250,000  has  been  charged  to  the  current 
funds  and  accumulated  in  the  reserve  for  maintenance  and  replacements 
fund.  Significant  projects  and  maintenance  costs  are  applied  against  this 
reserve. 

4.  Depreciation  expense  relating  to  the  building  improvements,  machinery  and 
equipmemt  of  The  Howe  Press  is  computed  on  the  straight-line  basis  using  the 
following  useful  lives: 

Automobiles  5  years 

Machinery  and  equipment       1 0  years 
Building  improvements  40  years 

5.  Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  (first-in,  first-out  method)  or  market. 

B.     Federal  Grants: 

The  School  acts  as  the  Coordinator  for  the  New  England  Regional  Center  for 
Services  to  Deaf-Blind  Children.  As  such,  it  receives  funds  from  federal  grants  to 
support  programs  carried  out  by  Perkins  School  as  well  as  by  other  participating 
agencies.  Grant  revenue  includes  all  funds  for  the  Regional  Center;  grants  dis- 
bursed include  funds  remitted  to  outside  participating  agencies.

D.    Pension: 

Under  a  group  annuity  contract  administered  by  the  Equitable  Life  Assurance  Society 
of  the  United  States,  the  School  makes  annual  contributions  toward  the  purchase  of 
annuities  for  its  employees  in  the  amount  accrued  for  pension  expense.  The 
accumulated  plan  benefits  and  plan  net  assets  as  of  September  1 ,  1 982  are  as 
follows: 


Actuarial  present  value  of  accumulated 
plan  benefits: 
Vested 
Nonvested 


Net  assets  available  for  benefits 


$3,395,756 

301,929 

$3,697,685 

$4,840,862 


The  weighted  average  assumed  rate  of  return  used  in  determining  the  actuarial 
present  value  of  accumulated  plan  benefits  was  7%.  Total  cost  of  the  contract  and 
supplemental  payments  charged  to  expenditures  amounted  to  $249,169  in  1984 
and  $225,334  in  1983  which  includes  amortization  of  past  service  costs  over  36 
years. 

E.    Accrued  Vacation  Pay: 

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting 
Standards  No.  43  (SFAS  No.  43)  "Accounting  for  Compensated  Absences"  which 
required  the  accrual  of  vacation  pay  earned  but  not  taken.  In  1983,  the  School  refined 
its  general  accrual  accounting  policies  to  reflect  accrued  vacation  pay  in  the 
financial  statements.  The  cumulative  effect  of  recording  vacation  pay  expense 
($129,655  for  the  School  and  $41,795  for  The  Howe  Press)  is  included  in  the 
current  fund  expenditures  for  the  year  ended  August  31 ,  1 983.  71

PERKINS 
ENDOWMENT 


The  Perkins  Program  as  it  has  developed  and  been 
maintained  for  more  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  years 
has  relied  upon  a  growing  endowment  at  every  step  along 
the  way. 

Endowments  which  are  adequate  to  put  a  program  into 
effect  are  rarely  sufficient  to  keep  it  going.  As  with  every 
private  school  and  college  that  is  keeping  abreast— or 
ahead— of  the  times,  Perkins  needs  to  see  its  endowment  grow.  Through  bequests  and 
donations,  and  through  a  few  government  grants,  we  have  been  able  to  expand  existing 
services  and  add  new  ones  as  needed.  We  are  confident  that  our  friends  will  continue 
to  support  us  in  ever  increasing  amounts. 

FORM  OF  BEQUEST 

I  hereby  give,  devise  and  bequeath  to  the  Perkins  School  for  the  Blind,  a  corporation  duly 
organized  and  existing  under  the  laws  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts,  the  sum 


dollars

receipt  of  the  Treasurer  for  the  time 
being  of  said  corporation  shall  be  a  suffi- 
cient discharge  to  my  executors  for  the 
same. 

FORM  OF  DEVISE  OF  REAL  ESTATE 

I  give,  devise  and  bequeath  to  the 
Perkins  School  for  the  Blind,  a  corpora-

the  laws  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Massa-
